MISSION
Cobb Christmas, Inc., staffed
100% by volunteers, provides
food and gifts at Christmas
time to Cobb County’s low-
income families ensuring the
holiday spirit is alive for our
client families, our donors and
volunteers alike.
HOW YOU CAN
HELP
•Host a toy drive
This can be at your office, place
of business, with your civic
organization,
in
your
neighborhood or at your church.
On average we give four to five
toys per child and need around
15,000 toys with over 3,000
children who will be registered.
•Stuff stockings
We need stockings with small,
inexpensive gifts (including bath
and toiletry items, but no food or
candy).
“Stuffed”
stockings
should be labeled by age and
gender. Each child served by
Cobb Christmas
receives a
stuffed stocking, so we need
over 3,000 of them.
•Work Set-up or
Distribution
We occupy Jim Miller Park from
Monday, December 8th through
Sunday, December 14th. This
year we will need more than 300
volunteers to make it all happen.
This
includes setting up the
warehouse, managing
it and
distributing toys to each client
family.
•Participate on a
committee
Work takes place year-round for
Cobb Christmas. We are always
in search of volunteers who wish
to be involved in the planning
and execution of fulfilling our
mission.
HISTORY
Cobb Christmas,
Inc.
is a non-profit,
501(c)(3), all-volunteer organization started
in 1963 by The Center for Family Resources
(then
known as
the Cobb County
Emergency Aid Association, Inc.) to assist
the low-income and working poor families of
Cobb County at Christmas time. The early
years were made
possible
through
community involvement from groups such as
the American Legion, Cobb Jaycees and
United Way of Cobb County. In 1978 the
Christmas program became independent
and incorporated in 1980. Today Cobb
Christmas is the oldest and largest program
of its kind in the county.
