Help Make Christmas Bright!
Terrace Lake’s Christmas Closet gives families in our community the chance to shop for high-quality gifts for their children at 70% off retail prices. On event day, families are welcomed in small groups and may select up to five gifts per child, allowing parents to choose presents their kids will love while maintaining dignity and staying within their budget. The shopping experience is part of a joyful Christmas party where families can enjoy cookies, an appetizer spread, crafts, and a free family photo to make the day even more special.

 

We’re collecting new, high-quality toys and gifts to make this event possible. Because of the deep discounts, we ask that donations be new, unwrapped items with the receipt attached, rather than bargain or dollar-store finds. Please bring gifts to the Outreach Wall in the church foyer any time through October 26 to help share the love of Christ and bring joy to local families this Christmas season.

 

Gift-Giving Guide 

We’re inviting families to shop with their own kids to choose and purchase gifts to donate—making it a fun way to give and teach generosity. Gift ideas by age group are listed below, or simply pick something your own children or grandchildren would love. If you’re short on time or unsure what’s popular, you can also purchase directly from our Amazon Wishlist for easy, specific gift options or donate and our team will do the shopping for you.
