2023 Christmas Toy Store
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 the Treasure Valley community and our big-hearted volunteers, we provide gifts at no out-of-pocket cost to families with children ages 0-18 to shop at our Christmas Toy Store.
St. Vincent de Paul is so thankful for the community support in hosting toy drives, giving trees, volunteering, and financial contributions! the Treasure Vally
