Holiday Shoppe

Local families need your help to make Christmas bright. Nearly 30% of local families are struggling every day to meet basic household needs. Each holiday season, the Waverly-Shell Rock Area United Way partners with the community to provide gifts to these families. Imagine the smiles you can bring to local kids this holiday season! Families have the opportunity to “shop” at the Holiday Shoppe and select toys/gift items for their children under the age of 18. 

The annual Holiday Shoppe serves nearly 500 children annually

I just wanted to say thank you. This year has been extremely tough financially and it’s hard to ask for help. Being able to get the girls a couple of items has helped take the stress of Christmas off of me and focus on keeping a roof over our heads. I cannot thank you enough.
