De Pere Christian Outreach
Christmas Store 2026

Christmas in July is coming! Ready for a little Christmas cheer in the middle of summer? Our annual Christmas in July Collection for the De Pere Christian Outreach Christmas Store kicks off on Sunday, July 5, and runs through the end of the month. This fun and meaningful collection helps us get ready for the Christmas Store in December, where families can choose gifts and "much needed" items for the holiday season.


This year, we're collecting three favorite items: fishing poles, kitchen utensils, and 50" X 60" fleece throws. These were some of the most popular picks at last year's store, and we know they'll once again bring comfort, joy, and practical help to the families we serve. Look for the Christmas tree with tags listing the requested items or grab a printed list if that's easier. Take a tag, take a few, or simply choose from the list - whatever works best for you!


All donated items should be new and unwrapped. Please bring them to the church by Friday, July 31. Last year, the Christmas Store served 227 families and nearly 1,000 children and adults, what an incredible impact! Thank you for helping us spread comfort, joy, and a little Christmas sparkle right in the middle of July.
