Christmas Around Towne is a beautiful example of community collaboration, with 40 area churches and organizations participating to provide a shopping experience, meal, and program, for our neighbors experiencing financial hardship. Sponsored by Lakeside mission partner Powerhouse Ministries, and hosted by Lakeside, the event is a massive operation, with 825 guests and 400 volunteers.

Lakeside is responsible for the toy store portion of the event, collecting  and inventorying toys as well as staffing the toy store. 

How Can We Make a Difference?
- Help us collect 2,000 new and unwrapped toys! Toys can be dropped off during our gatherings Nov 5–Dec 3 or purchased off our wish list.
- Volunteer to help inventory all our toys.
- Volunteer at the toy store on the day of the event, Saturday, Dec 9.
