Christmas House strives to preserve the dignity of families who use our services. We offer new merchandise and items we would see fit to give our own families as gifts. We want every child who receives gifts through Christmas House to wake up Christmas morning with new gifts under their tree. We accept new items and also accept “like-new” books, plus used bicycles that have been routed through a partner charity “Sharing Wheels” who refurbishes used bikes and then donates them to us during December. Other used clothing, toys and items should be donated to other local non-profit organizations.

Donated gifts can be delivered to Christmas House during our open hours in December. Due to limited storage facilities, special arrangements need to be made for donations of merchandise during the rest of the year. To make arrangements or ask questions, call 425-338-2273, or email president@christmas-house.org.
