CSL’s Christmas Stores are a long-time tradition to provide Christmas assistance to our neighbors in need. Our events allow parents to find a toy or gift for their children to open on Christmas day that otherwise would not have a gift.
Click below to find out how to get involved through gift collections, volunteering, and donating! New toys can be dropped off at CSL’s main office at 404 North Noland Road, Independence, MO 64050 from 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Monday-Thursday or 9:00 a.m. - Noon on Fridays.
As of December 10, we filled all 1,500 Christmas Store sign-up slots, so registration for assistance is closed. Families seeking Christmas assistance should call United Way’s 2-1-1 helpline to find other community assistance.
