GIFT EXCHANGE

409 14th St

We are so excited for our 9th annual Christmas Exchange! Join us this year in spreading joy to children this Christmas.

To get you excited, check out the highlight video from previous years!

Purchase Gifts for a Child

Ensure no child in Hoboken misses out on the joy of Christmas by signing up to participate in the Christmas Exchange. Here’s a quick view of the main steps.

  • Sign up to be a donor
  • Receive a wish list for each child you adopt
  • Wrap the gifts and tag them
  • Drop the gifts off at 409 14th St

Volunteer at the Exchange

Volunteering is another fantastic way to be part of spreading joy as part of the Christmas Exchange. It takes a lot of helping hands to receive and hand out gifts for over 1,500 children in less than 48 hours.

Submitting a Wish List

We want to ensure that every child up to 18 years old receives a gift this Christmas. We achieve this by partnering with non-profit and civic organizations in Hoboken and the neighboring Zip Codes. It is important that you provide accurate contact details in case we have issues or questions on your Wish List.

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.
