The Richmond Christmas Fund provides a grocery voucher for each family member. Families who have children 12 and under may also choose gifts for their children from the McDonald's Toy Room. Teens 13-15 will receive gift certificates.

 

2012 Registration and Toy Pick-Up Dates 

 

Once again, the Richmond Christmas Fund will be doing SAME DAY family registration and toy pick up. Make sure to bring all required documents and be ready to bring toys home with you on the same day you register. If you have children, arrange for child care as children will not be allowed in the toy room.

 

Registration and pick-up takes place at the Richmond Caring Place, 7000 Minoru Blvd.
