The Christmas tradition continues at Mission Arlington. Mission Arlington’s Christmas Store continues to provide families the opportunity to shop for free gifts, guaranteeing their children have something to open on Christmas.
“Since this year’s opening of The Christmas Store [Saturday, Dec. 11, 2021], we’ve already had more than 7,000 people come in the first three days,” said Mission Arlington Executive Director Tillie Burgin. “This community pours out as we have grown and moved to different locations because it really has grown. Last year, 35,000 children got gifts. We want you to come out. It’s just fun and a blessing getting to do what we get to do.”
The Christmas Store is located at Mission Arlington's Downtown headquarters (400 W. South St.) The store is open daily from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. through Dec. 22, 2021 and again from 10 a.m. until noon on Dec. 23, 2021. If you're able to donate, you can drop off new or nearly-new toys from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. at Mission Arlington. Click here for a list of suggested donations. Mission Arlington has also created an Amazon wishlist for online shoppers.
