UGM’s Christmas Hamper Store, a redesign of our previous Christmas Hamper Program, aims to alleviate the stresses of the holiday season families with low incomes in a dignified, empowering way. When parents sign up to receive Christmas support, not only are they going to be able to shop for their own family’s gifts in our free Hamper Store, but also our outreach workers will be able to build relationships with them and learn more about how UGM can come alongside to support them year-round.  For the first time in 2 years, we are welcoming parents back into our Hamper Store in person, where they will browse shelves full of gifts to choose the best items for their kids. We’ll offer to wrap their gifts, put them into a Rubbermaid container, and drive them back home full of all the Christmas necessities they chose.
