Give a gift with dignity this Christmas. The Christmas Store offers qualifying families the opportunity to purchase gifts for their children at a discount. Selecting and purchasing their own gifts at an affordable price provides dignity to parents and families experiencing financial hardship. Learn more about why we do this event here.

Please return donations unwrapped to Candeo Church by November 24th. If your gift needs batteries, please include them with the gift if possible. 

If you or someone you know would like to apply to shop at the store, call Love INC at 319.266.1264 or apply here.
