Holiday House
A Season of Giving and Joy
December 4–12, 2025
At Atlanta Children's Day Shelter, the holiday season is about more than gifts, it’s about creating memories and wrapping families in care. That’s the heart behind Holiday House, our annual toy and gift distribution event serving Atlanta Children’s Day Shelter families and the families from our trusted community partners.
From December 5th to 12th, our shelter transforms into a festive shopping experience, filled with thousands of donated toys, books, clothing items, and household essentials. Families in need who pre-register are invited to “shop” for their loved ones at no cost—selecting gifts that bring joy, warmth, and hope into their homes.
But what truly makes Holiday House special is the sense of community behind it. Volunteers serve as personal shoppers, gift wrappers, and food distribution helpers ensuring that every family leaves feeling seen, supported, and celebrated.
Last year, with the help of over 300 volunteers, we served more than 1,000 children across Atlanta. This year, we’re gearing up to make an even bigger impact—and we need your help to do it.
Because when community comes together, magic happens.
