Christmas Store
Christmas Store
The Pride for Parents Christmas community store is an extension of CDC’s ministry in the Central Detroit area to restore Christ’s hope and encourage long-term development in the community. The goal of the Christmas store is to provide resources that encourage economic sustainability by starting a new tradition built on dignity and empowerment, not dependency. CDC gathers donations of 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.
This Year: December 17, 2011
The store will be held on December 17, 2011. We hope that many of you can join us for a fantastic day of celebrating Christ’s birth together.
Last Year…
On December 18th, 2010, over 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 out of donated goods, 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!
