2023 Holiday Shop

 Johnson County Christmas Bureau  offers a 9-10 day Holiday Shop during the month of December. At the Holiday Shop pre-qualified clients shop by appointment. All clients are below 150% of the poverty level and reside in Johnson County, Kansas. The Holiday Shop is similar to a department store. Our Holiday Shop is the original pop-up. Each client is assisted by a volunteer or personal shopping assistant.

After check-in, a personal shopping (volunteer) assistant will greet you and will attach your name to your shopping cart. Although your assistant will push the shopping cart, each shopper visiting the Holiday Shop has the dignity of selecting their own merchandise. While they Christmas Shop through each department their personal shopping assistant will also guide shoppers through each department.
