Recipients will be assigned in 45 minute time slots and gifts must be picked up at 409 14th St, Hoboken. If you have questions, email us at christmas@hobokengrace.com./christmas@hobokengrace.com

Children up to and including 17 years old are allowed.
Do I get to choose my family?
No. We do our best to anonymize everyone’s information out of respect for everyone involved.
What is the communication plan?
We send out communications via email at regular intervals starting at 30 days prior to the event. We use MailChimp and so the communication may go to your promotions tab in Gmail. Here are instructions to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Yes. The event is open to anyone who wishes to help ensure no child goes without a gift on Christmas.
What should I do if I can't drop off my gifts?
We encourage people to coordinate with family or friends to drop off on your behalf.
What community partners benefit from the event?
We work in partnership with community-based organizations to identify families in need. This includes, but is not limited to, the Hoboken Housing Authority, the Hoboken Police Department, the Hoboken Public Schools, HOPES Cap, TRUE Mentors, and Community Lifestyle. If you are an organization that would like to refer families, please email us at christmas@hobokengrace.com.
