Christmas in the Community

Christmas in the Community

Bringing Holiday Joy to Those Who Need It Most

Every child deserves to experience the magic of Christmas.

Training CAMP's Christmas in the Community initiative ensures that 10 underserved eastside families experience the warmth and joy every family deserves during the holidays. We support children ages 6-10 who face extraordinary challenges—kids in foster care, those who have lost parents, and families living in temporary housing.

Our Holiday Promise

Each family receives a complete holiday package with toys and games, gift cards for holiday meals, and warm clothing essentials like cozy pajamas, socks, winter coats, and sweat clothes.

How You Can Help:

  • Donate unwrapped toys (Legos, board games, action figures/dolls)

  • Contribute educational supplies (books, art materials, school supplies)

  • Provide gift cards (clothing or grocery stores)

  • Make a monetary donation ($15-30 can make a significant impact)

The Impact of Your Gift

When you contribute to Christmas in the Community, you're not just giving presents—you're giving hope. You're showing vulnerable children that they matter and proving to families that their community believes in their future.

This Christmas, help us wrap these families in the love and support of the Santa Barbara community.
