Christmas Anonymous 2015 - Rochester Kiwanians and others at Christ United Methodist Church

Activity:             Gather, pack and distribute thousands of pounds of food, clothing, bikes and Christmas presents to those in need in Rochester MN.

Description:       Christmas Anonymous has been making the Spirit of Christmas come alive for many families (over 600 families) in need for over 50 years.

Christmas Anonymous:  Christmas Anonymous accepts donations of food, toys, outerwear and bicycles, and then distributes these articles back to needy families. 
Christmas Anonymous is 100% supported by donations from the community. There are no paid positions and we minimize our expenses by getting discounts and donations of goods and services whenever possible, as well as shopping for the best possible deals. Their web site is at:  http://www.christmasanonymous.org/

Currently Christmas Anonymous uses a vast corps of volunteers like Kiwanis Clubs and others to help others in two ways: 

  1. Helping families in need via our 'store' where parents can shop (without paying) for New and Used toys, bicycles, Teen Gifts, boys and girls new Clothing, Hats/Gloves and Knitwear, used boots/skates, gift wrap and household items and used Outerwear as well as food for a Holiday meal for the entire family.

  2. Helping Seniors in need with boxes of food for a Holiday meal and stationary and other household items.

Collectively the Day Makers / Golden K clubs did the following:
