Community Giftmart

Community Giftmart Giftmart partners with local schools to identify families with need. All proceeds are then donated to help fund their schools.

Donations from the community are used to offset the cost of toys, so families can buy quality items with dignity. The first Community Giftmart was held at Brady Elementary School in Aurora, IL, a school in a primarily Hispanic neighborhood with a high percentage of students from low-income households. Parents purchased a total of 1200 toys for $2 each, and that money was given to Brady School to p

urchase books for the school library. These events now serve families from 11 area elementary schools and last year raised over $16,000 for those schools. The Community Giftmart in Aurora, Illinois has served as a model for similar Giftmart events in the Chicago area and throughout the country. 2008 marked the start of a Giftmart in Joliet, Illinois and many more have followed. Often, churches that have partnered together in one location go on to start Giftmart locations of their own.

We are looking for brick and mortar businesses who would be willing to have a toy collection box to help us stock shelves for our Community Giftmart this year.

Since 2003, Giftmart has collected more than 260,000 new toys to be sold at sites in East Aurora, Naperville, and Joliet where parents from partner schools have the opportunity to choose gifts for their children at a discounted price of $2 per toy. Over the past decade Giftmart has helped low-income families invest more than $280,000 into their local schools resulting in the purchase of much needed library books, computers, musical instruments and other supplies.

If interested please email me at [email protected] Thank you!
