Project Santa's Toy and Joy Shop Program empowers low-income parents to have gifts for their children under the tree on Christmas morning, or to celebrate their holiday of choice. Provides 3 -5 new toys for each child, books, school supplies, stocking stuffers, and coloring books. Serves children ages birth to 12.

For Christmas 2024:

To sign up for Project Santa, beginning December 1st through December 21st, community members can visit the Timberlake Outreach Center or Council Bluffs Outreach Center (on the days they are open) and sign up their children (aged newborn to 12 years old) to receive new toys for Christmas. This should be done during visitors' once-a-month shopping time. Please note each child can only be signed up once for this program.

To sign children up for Christmas gifts, applicants must bring:

-- A current piece of mail

-- Social Security cards for each child (ages newborn to 12 years old) to sign up to receive gifts

-- A document verifying the children's ages (such as a birth certificate or Medicaid card)

To Shop for Toys: After sign-up, applicants will be given a confirmation sheet with an appointment day and time to come and shop for toys for the children that were signed up. Applicants will need to bring that confirmation sheet with them when shopping for toys.

The Toy N Joy shop is located on the main campus by the airport in Omaha, and will be open from 10 am-6 pm on December 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st. Children cannot be present at the Toy N Joy shop.
