The Gifts From The Heart (GFTH) Christmas Shop program is based on the premise that families, including ones of very modest means, prefer to provide for themselves rather than accept a handout. During the holiday season, the Christmas Shop offers a high-quality, dignity-affirming affordable shopping experience for families served by a coalition of community services and nonprofit organizations.

GFTH strives to make a difference during the Christmas season by providing local families the opportunity to purchase at least three (3) new gifts for each child in their household. Since 2016, thousands of children and their families have been served through the program, which relies on the generosity of volunteers and donors.
As Brevard County grows each year, so does the need for gifts. Whether you are a first-time donor, or you’ve been contributing for years, thank you for helping us share the joy and hope of Christmas.
How to Help:
Each gift purchased from the Gifts From The Heart Christmas Shop is, in essence, two gifts– a gift for the child who opens it on Christmas day and the “gift of providing” for the parent.
When you give to GFTH, you also get to experience THE BLESSEDNESS OF GIVING! It is no coincidence that the watchword that inspired GFTH is it is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35). These words spoken by Jesus imply that giving brings more happiness than receiving, as giving fosters a sense of community and support.
