Nothing warms up the heart like a thoughtful gift! On December 9, Jubilee staff, volunteers, and community partners teamed up to host another fun-filled Elf Store, where the presents were flying and spirits were soaring.

Now in its seventeenth year, the Elf Store is a mainstay of the holiday season where children and youth in the Jubilee community shop for gifts for their families. Over 30 volunteers shared their Saturday to hang decorations, stock shelves, and wrap more than 850 gifts for over 130 shoppers. To round out the festivities, the discerning Elf Store visitor might also stop by to decorate a cookie, get a festive face painting, or snap a photo with Santa!

Jubilee is grateful to all the donors and volunteers who help make this beloved event happen each year, with special recognition for our partners Guidehouse and Nixon Peabody for their incredible contributions to a highlight of the season!
