Important Update:

Party Rescheduled and Gift Drop-off Extended due to Christmas Parade date change!

Because of the rescheduling of the annual Christmas Parade, we’re moving our party from December 16 to December 17. To give you more time to shop, we’ve extended our drop-off date. We’d like all gifts to be dropped off by December 8 at your tree location or our office at 433 Harrison Ave Panama City, Florida 32401. Thanks for making sure everything arrives on time!

Thanks to your generosity, in 2024, we stuffed over 1500 items and gave around 300 children a Christmas because of YOU! Bay County children with 3 wishes, and shoes. We have an amazing YouTube video covering a previous Santa party. “Children Left Behind Bundle of Hope.”

These children will likely not have Christmas without our gracious community. You can be such an important part of taking the burden off of financially struggling single parents when it matters the most. The finale is a visit for the children with Santa on December 14th, as our Elves fill the arms of their parent with their Santa bags.

As the Christmas Season approaches, do you wonder if there are children in our area who won’t get Christmas gifts? If this is you, please consider the CHILDREN LEFT BEHIND ANNUAL CHRISTMAS GIFTING PROGRAM!
