The halls have been decked and it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Loaves and Fishes!

Tuesday was an amazing opening day at our Pride for Parents Christmas Store! We welcomed 25 families to shop for their children, while 20+ incredible volunteers helped us turn our space into a joyful holiday marketplace — setting up, sorting, pricing, and even wrapping presents with love. Special thanks to Cynthia Wilson and our friends at @ekklesia.rdu for the festive decor! We’re especially grateful this year. Just last year, a trailer filled with donated toys was stolen. We had to start over from scratch… but this year, we’ve truly received double for our trouble. The generosity from our community has been overwhelming — and we’re not done yet! 🎁 Here’s how you can still help: We’re open through December 20, and still in need of: • Bicycles and helmets • Gifts for tweens & teens You can: 1. Shop our Amazon Wish List or Walmart Wish Lists (Links in bio) 2. Drop off new, unwrapped toys at our site 3. Or make a monetary donation — and we’ll shop for you! Link in bio. 🎄 Want to volunteer? Sign up for a shift via Activate Good and come experience the magic. Link in bio. We are so thankful for every donation, every hour volunteered, and every encouraging word. Because of you, families are shopping with dignity and children will wake up to gifts that bring joy and hope. 💛
