Congregations for Kids - Merry Market

Congregations for Kids empowers the Church and community to champion lasting resilience for kids experiencing foster care.

Merry Market provides an opportunity for social workers to shop for Christmas gifts for kids and teens in foster care. Generous toy donations from churches, businesses and community members make it possible for these gifts to be given at no cost to the social workers and families. Please note, this serve opportunity is open to adults only.

What will volunteers do?

Volunteers are needed to help make Merry Market a success! Some volunteer tasks include: managing registration, assisting social workers as personal shoppers, toy sorting/assembly, and clean up.
