Christmas Wish List
December 12, 2026
Christmas Wish List is back on Saturday, December 12th, and this year we're getting ready to serve 200 kids and their families right here in Sarasota! Our goal is to collect 600 WOW gifts so parents can personally choose three Christmas gifts for each of their children while their kids enjoy a special Christmas experience at Hope City.
Here's how you can help make it happen:
🎁 Shop: Pick up a tag in the lobby and purchase a new, unwrapped WOW gift valued at $25 or more. Return gifts any Sunday in November. We're also collecting new children's books, diapers, and baby wipes.
❤️ Become a Sponsor: Give financially and let our team shop for gifts on your behalf.
🙌 Serve With Us: Join our team on December 12th! Sign Up to Serve
Every gift, donation, and helping hand makes a difference. Let's come together to show 200 kids and their families that they are seen, loved, and not forgotten. 200 kids. 600 gifts. One incredible opportunity to share the hope of Jesus! Let's do this, Hope City! ❤️
