DONATE

Your donations are tax deductible through our partnership with St. Mark UMC.

Be sure to include your contact information so we know where to send your giving statement to include in your 2024 tax returns.  There will be a drop down for you to choose to send your donation directly to Birthday Party for Jesus.

SPONSORSHIPS are greatly appreciated and businesses are featured on our home page and in our social media.  

Anything at all is appreciated including empty small boxes.  We provide gifts for kids from infant to 12 years old.   Sometimes there are older children who come to the trucks so it's nice to have something for them too.  Go to our Drop Off Location Page to find the closest to you.

Many opportunities exist to help - even an hour of your time will help.  Teens trying to collect service hours are more than welcome and one of our leaders will sign that you've volunteered.  Volunteers are needed  many times through the month of December up to and including Christmas Day.  Check out our Volunteer page to pick a time and mission.

We help many families who are in need of cold-weather items.  Coats, blankets, sheets, gloves, boots,hats -  anything at all that you think could help out a neighbor in need.

We were able to feed over 1000 people on Christmas Day last year.  We'd love to feed more this year.    We will be providing to-go lunches of BBQ Pork and Turkey Sandwiches.  We will need cookies, chips, and drinks to  complete the meals this year.  

Where do I donate goods, gifts, and food?  Most of our drop-off sites only accept kids' gifts.  Our assembly site at St. Mark UMC 413 Geddes Ave Charleston SC 29407 will accept food donations.  They are open 9AM to 1PM each weekday and on Sunday from 9:30 am to 12:00 pm. Non-perishable Donations can be left by the door to the office of the church at any time outside of those hours. Contact us if you need to arrange a donation outside of those hours.

My workplace wants to do a toy drive!!  Who do I contact to pick up the donations?  Send us a message.  Gail Lanter, our gift coordinator will contact you to arrange pick up.  If the packages are wrapped - simply write the gender and age of the child it is intended for.  If it can be either gender simply label ANY and the age.
