Seeking the Good of the City

The Christmas Store
For the past few years, a handful of local Lakewood churches, the City of Lakewood, and other area partners have collaborated to provide gifts for Lakewood families in need. This year, Parkside Church Westside is partnering with Cross Point Church, the City of Lakewood, and others to present The Christmas Store.
The Christmas Store offers both dignity and grace to parents during a very stress-filled time of year by providing a free shopping experience. Too often, parents are cut out of the gift-giving process by well-meaning, non-profit organizations who provide gifts to families in need, but leave out a shopping experience that also empowers parents.
Families who have been referred by the City of Lakewood and have completed the application process will receive a gift card to The Christmas Store. They can shop for gifts (for FREE) during store hours while enjoying an awesome shopping experience with music, coffee, snacks, and a gift-wrapping station.

The store is located at 15200 Madison Ave, Lakewood, OH 44107, on the corner of Madison and Elmwood.
Help Us Shop for Gifts
Join us on December 4 at 6:00pm at Earth Fare Fairview Park (3450 Westgate Park, Fairview Park, OH, 44126) for a quick dinner and Christmas shopping at the nearby stores.
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!
