Make sure no child in Hoboken wakes up on Christmas without a gift. When you sign up to be a donor, you’ll be matched with a child, family, or elder within the Hoboken community. If you choose to adopt a family you’ll be given a wishlist, which includes multiple people to provide gifts for. If you’re looking to buy a gift for a single child, select “child” upon submission. Then, wrap the gifts and deliver it to 301 Garden Street at one of the following times.
Create the magic during gift dropoff and pickup! With so many gifts going to so many different homes, we need elves to help organize the dropoff process. There are a few different time slots available when you can be there to help make sure everything runs smoothly.
For a couple of days, the north pole is right here in Hoboken.
If you would like to give multiple gifts, you may want to consider adopting a family or more than one individual. Families can include multiple children and maybe even a parent or two. Families have all been screened prior to matching with an adoptee to ensure validity of their claims.
If you’d like to buy a gift for a single child, you may select “child” upon submission and you’ll be matched with a child in need and his/her wish list.
You’ll receive an email shortly after with the gender(s) and wish lists of the individual(s) you’ve adopted. Once you do, you’ll be able to shop for their gifts!
We are stating a limit of around $50 per individual.
You will be sent wish lists for the number of family members that you signed up for. You do not need to buy everything that is on each list but we ask that you purchase something for each person you have been given a wish list for. We understand situations may arise. Please contact christmas@hobokengrace.com or call (201) 985-4415 should you be unable to fulfill any of the wish lists that you are given.
The goal of the Hoboken Christmas Exchange is to make sure no child goes without a gift on Christmas. We also know parents are likely to spend their last dollar on gifts for their children and so we also collect their wish lists. Lastly, we include the elderly to brighten their Christmas as well.
We cannot accept delivered packages. We’re only able to accept the gifts at the designated drop off times.
Please contact christmas@hobokengrace.com or call (201) 985-4415.
Please do. Gifts that are already wrapped have a special way of exciting a child. This will ensure the surprise and excitement will be genuine.
If you’re available to help out, we need as many “elves” as possible! We need people to help with wrapping, family portraits, card making, gift giving and cookie eating! Email christmas@hobokengrace.com
Children over the age of 12 are welcome to join the elf team.
We’d love to get the word out! Email christmas@hobokengrace.com
