Lakewood Christmas Store 2019

Posted on

For the past few years, Parkside Church Westside has partnered with friends at Cross Point Church, the Lakewood City Schools, and the City of Lakewood's Department of Human Services to help Lakewood families in need for Christmas.

Families who have been referred by the Lakewood schools receive gift cards to The Christmas Store, where they can shop for gifts for free during store hours while enjoying a festive shopping experience with music, coffee, holiday treats, and a gift-wrapping station. 

This year the store will be located in Parkside Westside’s office space, above Barrio at 15529 Madison Ave. You can participate in The Christmas Store by volunteering for one of the activities highlighted below. Sign up on your own, or talk to your neighborhood or Community Group friends and sign up for slots together, in order to help make the holidays brighter for lots of Lakewood families this year.  

Help Us Shop for Gifts

Join us at 6:00 pm at Chick-fil-A in Rocky River (20801 Center Ridge Rd, Rocky River, 44116)  for a quick dinner (on your own) and some Christmas shopping afterward at Target. Our church leadership team has allocated financial resources to The Christmas Store from our annual budget, which simply means that you do the shopping and we’ll pay for the gifts!
