‘No Charge’ Christmas Store

Wesley Urban Ministries provides food and gifts during the Christmas season to families and individuals living in poverty, through the unique ‘No Charge’ Christmas Store.

In a store-like setting, people choose new gifts for all ages and a wide range of food items, fresh produce and non-perishables. Based on a point system, Wesley’s Christmas Assistance Program offers choice and dignity by valuing individual needs and preferences. A wide variety of ages, faiths and backgrounds access this program.

Kilbride United Church gathers a team of volunteers each year to staff the Christmas Store on one or two days in December. Volunteers organize merchandise and help shoppers to select gifts, toys and clothing. See the announcements for specific dates.
