2017 Christmas Wish List

There are two great options for you to help make this a wonderful Christmas for our children and families. You can donate gifts from our Christmas Wish List OR contact The Children’s Home Christmas Coordinator to sponsor a child and/or family.   Please deliver your tax-deductible gifts to The United Methodist Children’s Home Tucker office on or  by Tuesday, December 12th. Delivery hours are  Monday – Friday from 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Please ensure donated gifts are new and unwrapped for the security and enjoyment of the families and children we serve. Also, please place all gift cards inside envelopes, along with the accompanying receipts (and separate the gift cards from unwrapped gifts).   Requested Donations: Visa gift cards Amazon gift cards Publix gift cards Kroger gift cards Infant and toddler clothing Children’s clothing (up to children’s size 16) Cloth and board books for infants and toddlers Baby and toddler toys Gender-neutral toys (arts & crafts, LEGOs, educational, pretend play, musical instruments, etc.) Ride toys (toddler, age 4 and up) Bikes (ages 4 – 8) Bike helmets Diapers Diaper bags Pull-Ups (sizes 3,4,5,6) Wipes Baby care supplies (crib sheets, baby gates, teething rings, safety items, pacifiers, etc.) Sturdy suitcases or duffel bags Dolls (emphasizing a variety of ethnicities) Passes, tickets, memberships to local attractions Books from our list of new foster homes:

  Passes, Tickets, Memberships This year, please consider a gift that may ignite a budding passion or career! The families and children we serve are often excluded from activities they cannot afford. For example, tickets to an Atlanta Hawks or Silverbacks game, the movie theater, Zoo Atlanta, or the Georgia Aquarium allow them to experience events they may never otherwise experience without your help. Finally, please share this information with your neighbors, friends, and congregations. Your generosity and thoughtfulness go a long way with our families.   Feel free to download and share the PDF version  or the JPG version of our 2017 Christmas Wish List.
