The Children's Holiday Store
opens Saturday, November 30th!
A holiday tradition where children are the boss!
Children's Holiday Store
The Children’s Holiday Store is a wonderful shopping experience that teaches children about the joy of giving to others. With nearly 2,000 children coming to shop, the store has become something many families look forward to generation after generation. Children shop with their own "elf" while their loved relaxes in the waiting room.

Holiday Store Sponsorship
Sponsorship of our annual Holiday Store allows the Mini O’Beirne Crisis Nursery to continue to provide safe, loving care for hundreds of children each year. Emergency childcare is offered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The crisis nursery literally never closes! There is never a charge for services and there are no income guidelines.
By becoming a sponsor, you are assisting families within your community to access not only the free emergency childcare, but also the Basic Needs Pantry and Family Support Services, which are all designed to help support and strengthen the families served.
Sponsorships are available to individuals, businesses, and agencies. Your information will be shared at the Holiday Store,
on our social media and here on our website.
