Give Joy This Season: Support Our Kids’ Holiday Store

The holidays are about connection, kindness, and community — and in Chestermere, one special tradition brings all three together: the Kids’ Holiday Store, hosted by the Rocky View Chestermere Agricultural Society.

This unique community program allows children to shop independently for gifts for loved ones using donated items. With the help of volunteer “elves,” kids select, help wrap, and proudly present their chosen gifts — creating confidence, joy, and lasting holiday memories.

🌟 Why Your Donation Matters

Your donation helps provide:

• Holiday dignity for families experiencing financial stress

• Confidence-building moments for kids who get to shop on their own

• Meaningful community support where neighbours help neighbours

• Holiday inclusion, ensuring every child can participate in giving

Whether you donate a present or contribute financially, you’re helping build a stronger, more connected community.

🎁 What to Donate

We welcome:

• New or gently loved gifts for children

• Items suitable for parents/guardians (mugs, candles, books, tools, home items, self-care, etc.)

• Games, puzzles, crafts

• Gift bags, wrap, tags, tape

If you'd be proud to gift it, a child will be proud to choose it.
