For Christmas 2024:

Heart of Christmas is Sat, Dec 7th, from 10 am-11 am, held at the Faith Church in Rock Valley, IA. Provides a Christmas store for children ages 3-11, and parents pay $5 per child to choose and wrap a gift. The store closes at 10:30 am, so parents must arrive before that time.

This also qualifies parents to receive a holiday meal kit, and families who had flood damage to their homes can receive a 4-foot lighted Christmas tree. Children enter the Christmas Carnival area with a variety of games and decorate Christmas cookies. There is an interactive retelling of the Christmas story.

Parents must register by Nov 22. Register online at www.loveincsiouxcounty.org or call (712) 476-5990. No registration needed for Christmas Carnival. (All children must be accompanied by an adult at the event.)
