Each December we bring Joy to over 13,000 neighbors
HOW DOES THE HOLIDAY SHOP WORK?
Johnson County Christmas Bureau offers a 9-day Holiday Shop during the month of December. All pre-qualified shopping guests recieve an appointment - shoppers are below 150% of the poverty level and reside in Johnson County, Kansas. The Holiday Shop is similar to a department store providing a unique shopping experience - free of charge to our neighbors. Our Holiday Shop is the original pop-up. Each guest is assisted by a volunteer or personal shopping assistant. Every year we need sponsors to make this all happen- we receive NO GOVERNMENT FUNDING. If you are able to assist our our mission and be one of our generous sponsors, contact director@jccb.org .
