Each year, St. Vincent de Paul Southwest Idaho opens the Christmas Toy Store to families in need who cannot afford to purchase Christmas Gifts for their children.
In partnership with local school counselors in Ada and Canyon County, we provide gifts at no out-of-pocket cost to families with children ages 0-18 to shop at our Christmas Toy Store.
Our volunteers screen and pre-register each family over the phone. Once registered, families can pick out gifts at the Christmas Toy Store throughout December.

GIVIng TREE
Jordan's Garden Center is proud to partner with St. Vincent de Paul Idaho again this year to extend its already successful Giving Tree program.
With this program, SVDP helps over 1,600 Treasure Valley families in need during the holiday by providing Christmas gifts to families who otherwise may not have a present to put under the tree. In partnership with SVDP, Jordan's Garden Center has extended the program to include a free Christmas tree to put those presents under. Christmas is the season of giving, and with this partnership, we can give over 1600 families a better Christmas.
A Christmas tree and gifts wrapped underneath make Christmas morning a reason for families to celebrate. Tears have been brought to moms, children, and staff alike as we bring the joy of Christmas into a family's home.
