Bringing Joy to the Children of Middle Tennessee at Christmas
How Christmas for the Children helps to make the holiday bright
Christmas means so much to so many. We’re all a little lighter, a little more patient, a little more giddy – a little more filled with holiday cheer, and a lot more excited to spread that joy with people near and far. But the very best part of Christmas is watching the look of wonder in our children’s eyes when they tear off the brightly-colored wrapping paper and see the gift that they had been hoping so hard to receive.
We want every child in Middle Tennessee to open that gift, and every family to have the opportunity to experience that look. Christmas for the Children, with the help of our sponsors, has made that a possibility for the last 23 years. We hope you’ll share in this incredible event by becoming a volunteer, or by sponsoring a child this year. We promise you: you’ll have just as much fun as we do!
The Shopping Event
This year’s Christmas for the Children shopping event will take place in November or December. Please check back here closer to the season for the official date. On the special day, we will meet you at the Walmart in Hendersonville at the designated time. We are seeking volunteers who can block out a few hours of their evening to shop for multiple families during our event.
Christmas for the Children has touched the lives of more than 5450 children and 3900 volunteers by making Christmas possible for those who might not have had a holiday otherwise. We make sure that every child has a present to open on Christmas day, and that every family has a fully-prepared meal on Christmas Eve. Thanks to people just like you, we’ve been able to share in the holiday spirit with families throughout Middle Tennessee for the last 23 years. We hope you’ll help us continue to support local families in the future, too.
