Join us now through December 3, 2024 as we support Mission 1:27’s Christmas Market.
Christmas is a special time of celebration for families. Unfortunately, too many hard-working families find themselves coming up short at holiday time and unable to provide the Christmas toys their children would love to have. Mission 1:27 believes that families would prefer to provide for themselves and experience the joy of selecting gifts for their children rather than receive a handout. At the Mission 1:27 Christmas Market families will find the latest and greatest toys and gifts at greatly reduced prices. All items are priced at 75-80% off retail, thus allowing families in challenging times to afford Christmas gifts for their children.
