How it Works
4 things to know before you shop
- Gifts must be new.
- Leave them unwrapped — parents wrap their own kids’ gifts.
- No bikes, gift cards, or gift receipts.
- Everything gets dropped off in person at the Fairgrounds.
Full shopping instructions come with your list. Nothing to memorize now.
Bringing your team
- Sign up once as an organization using the form above — one submission, however many children your team wants to sponsor.
- Split the list among your people, shop on your own time, and drop everything off together!
- Using corporate giving dollars? We can convert company funds into $150 prepaid debit cards for easy team shopping. One per child, no minimum, processed same day. Email Alicia Bunn at aliciab@sharingandcaringkids.com by October 30.

FAQ’s
What's on the shopping list I get?
A Child ID, plus their age, gender, height, weight, clothing and shoe sizes, four things they need, four things they want, and any notes from their family’s interview.
Will I get siblings?
We never split a family between shoppers. If your list includes siblings, you have all of them.
Can I choose the age or gender of the child?
Children are assigned as their families are approved. We’re not able to guarantee requests.
What if I can't follow through?
Tell us as soon as you know. Every child gets covered either way, but early notice makes a real difference.
I don't live nearby. Can I ship gifts to you?
Not directly — the volume is more than we can process. Shoppers outside the area often ship to a local friend or coworker, who bags, labels, and drops off at the Fairgrounds.
Do I get a donation receipt?
Yes. Acknowledgments go out following Distribution Day.
One child. One shopping trip.
