Christmas Store Volunteer and Donation Requests

2022 Christmas Store Wish List

The Auxiliary sponsored Christmas Store is a special event and BCC looks forward to it every year!  We need much support in order to make it a success.  You can make a difference through your donations and volunteer time.

Donations for the Christmas Stores can be dropped off at any of the four locations: Baltimore, MD, “Falling Waters” in Martinsburg, WV, Charlotte Hall, MD and Denton, MD (physical addresses to each location here)

Volunteer to make a difference

An Auxiliary project held during the holiday season is the Christmas Store for the youth and families served by the Board of Child Care.  This annual event is very popular with the youth as they can shop for holiday gifts for the most important people in their life, whether family members, friends or loved ones, plus families are able to shop for gifts that they might otherwise not be able to afford.  Donations of new and gently used items for the Store are donated throughout the year.  Volunteers are needed to set up the Store and be available to the youth and families to help them with their shopping.  The following dates and times are when we need volunteers to help with the Store.  Please consider helping with this worthwhile project.  Contact Sue Everhart, Auxiliary President, at (301) 514-8730 to volunteer.

Donate to make a difference

The Christmas Store stocks new and like new merchandise.  Even though the children may not live with their parents and siblings during the holiday, giving them Christmas gifts is very important to them.  We ask that you donate items that you would give as gifts to your own children or grandchildren.

To coordinate your donation please call ahead. 

Please call either Mrs. Sue Everhart at the Auxiliary Office (410) 922-2100, extension 5473.

Special Notes:

  • Please no sharp objects or aerosol cans.
  • The children do not select Christmas ornaments or decorations so we do not need them at this time.
  • ALWAYS a need for hygiene items!
