Christmas Store
CDC gathers donations of clothing, toys, school uniforms and supplies, household items, and food. We then sell these gifts to families in our community for 70—90% off the retail price. That’s a $20 gift for $2-$6! The proceeds go back into the development of the store to further meet the needs of the community. The store seeks to utilize the Christmas holiday to serve the Central Detroit area with affordable Christmas gifts and necessities. We hope to eventually develop the store beyond Christmas into a full community store as a resource for people with low incomes and possibly to provide job opportunities. This Year... On December 12th, 2009, 200 families experienced great joy at the Pride for Parents Christmas Store. With the help of over 250 volunteers, the store was open for one day, all day, and the shoppers kept coming. Not only did we sell over $30,000 worth of product, but, we were also able to gift wrap items and each family that came was able to leave with a food basket! Many thanks to all of the churches and organizations that gave their time and donated gifts for the store to make it a blessing to all that came! For more information, e-mail Tony McDuffy.
