Spreading the joy of the holidays to hundreds of local children!

The MAM Christmas Share Program brings holiday joy to hundreds of children in our community each year. Many of the families we assist face difficulties in affording basic necessities. With your help, we provide toys, and gift cards to help brighten their holiday season. Your support can make all the difference in their holiday season!

How Christmas Share Works:

1) You Donate Toys

MAM collects donations of new toys and gift cards to stock our holiday store. Below are ways you can help us gather these toys.

2) Parents Shopping

Families engaged in MAM's programs and services are invited to "shop" for their children during a scheduled time, with help from volunteer "Elves.

3) Holiday Joy for Children!

Parents get to surprise their children with gifts specially selected for them! Teens receive a fun $50 gift card!

Donations will be accepted from December 2 to December 9, 2024, Monday through Friday, between 9 AM and 4 PM.
