The Christmas Joy Stores invite referred parents and caregivers to choose gifts and treats for their children they know they'll love, off the shelves, shopping for free.
For 10 years we've been providing Christmas to children in need, and so far have delivered toys and treats to over 26,450 children. This year, we need your help more than ever.
As the cost-of-living crisis worsens, and after the devastating effects of the recent weather events, many families are struggling more than ever before.
Thousands of children will wake up on Christmas morning without presents, or even food. This year, you can be the reason they unwrap a little bit of joy instead.
Get your workplace, school, club or team together and host a Giving Tree this Christmas to support families in need.
As well as the Christmas Joy Store, we also deliver Christmas throughout the country for families in all over the country. Presents collected in each region stay local for local families.Download everything you need to share, including posters, on the toolkit below.
Final registrations must be in by Friday 8th December.
Drop brand new toys in the Christmas Joy Store collection bins at your local Mitre 10 between 20th November - 10th December.
Presents collected outside of Auckland and Hawke's Bay Christmas Joy Stores stay local for local kids supported by our 145 community partners.
We have a limited amount of community nominations available in Auckland and Hawke's Bay.
If you know a family struggling to make ends meet or who have been affected by the recent weather events, nominate them to attend the Christmas Joy Store below.
Unfortunately, due to volume of nominations, only successful nominations will be notified.
