Delta High School Holiday Store

UPCOMING DELTA HIGH SCHOOL HOLIDAY STORE

As the neighbor of Delta High School, we at Element Christian Church try to bless Delta as much as possible. The staff have asked us to host a Holiday Store for a week in December. Many of the students come from difficult circumstances and have very little means to buy Christmas gifts. Element hosts this Holiday Store with the Hope Club to offer new and gently used items for kids to come “shop” for free for themselves, family and friends. WE NEED YOUR HELP to stock the store:

A COUPLE QUICK STORIES THE DELTA STAFF HAS SHARED WITH:

  • One year a girl who had been a part of a sex-trafficking ring locally in the past, ended up getting gifts for each of the girls who were still involved.
  • One boy’s father was homeless, and the boy didn’t have any money to get him anything but he was able to get him some new clothes, shoes and a blanket.
  • There was a boy who was able to get shoes for a friend in need who wasn’t going to school. 

The Store will be held at Element Church December 9-12th, 2024 during school hours. We are looking for donations of NEW or very slightly USED items that are in clean and working order. Some items Delta has received in previous years that have been a success: 

HIGH PRIORITY:

  • Blankets, Towels & Toiletry Gift Sets
  • Great condition teen/young adult clothing
  • Like-new items for Christmas gifting (decor, jewelry, toys, etc.) 

OTHER ITEMS:

  • Clothing and shoes for all ages of people: babies through adults in good condition, new socks
  • Formal clothing: dresses and suits for employment
  • Sports shoes: cleats, basketball shoes, etc. 
  • Hats, accessories
  • Christmas ornaments, decorations, cards
  • Any type of game, including board games
  • School supplies
  • Home goods: towels, kitchenware, cookware, etc.
  • Household essentials, blankets, candles
  • Baby gear, including strollers in nice condition, car seats for babies. 

We would appreciate any sort of donation you can make. All donations will receive a tax donation slip. We need all donations delivered by Sunday, December 8, 2024. If you wish to donate financially, you can do so here, and select “Delta Kids”
