Over 1,900 individuals were impacted this past Saturday as the result of over 600 donors, and 276 volunteers. Read that again.

Including all the partners, 3,400 people participated – in a city of 55,000 people! All of this is only possible because of you.

After your amazing outpouring of love to your neighbors, we were able to collect some thank you notes from those who received gifts from this year’s Hoboken Christmas Exchange.

Now, we’ll let their words paint the picture of how truly special the community of Hoboken is.

Thank you ALL for the warmth, the smiles and the love. The gifts were absolutely appreciated and much needed. But, let me tell you..walking from the back of the line all the way around I could feel the love of Christ all around me. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thats what it’s all about for me. God bless you all for your time and your generosity! And for that sister that recognized that I needed to hug someone..wow! Amazing that you picked up on that!

I want to thank everyone who donated the gifts for my family and all the families that were at tonight’s Hoboken Christmas Exchange 2018. It just makes me feel blessed that there are so many amazing and caring people who are there to give from their hearts so that a family who is struggling during the holidays are able to make a child feel loved. May God Bless you all, also thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the wonderful volunteers who gave of their time and hearts to help.
– Merry Christmas and Love to all from Tina and Family.
