About CHILDRENS CHRISTMAS PARTY OF JACKSONVILLE

Children’s Christmas Party of Jacksonville is a donor-facing 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has run an annual one-day toy giveaway in downtown Jacksonville since 1999. The event is held at the Prime F. Osborn III Convention Center and is organized by a volunteer board and a group of corporate and community sponsors. In recent years the organization has continued active operations and public events (including the 26th annual party in December 2024), partnering with major local businesses and in-kind donors to source toys and mobilize hundreds of volunteers. The charity focuses exclusively on direct gift distribution to children ages 12 and under from families in need, operating on a first-come, first-served basis with no application required.

Notable achievements

Large one-day toy distribution

Extensive volunteer mobilization

Regularly mobilizes several hundred volunteers for event set-up and party day operations (hundreds during set-up week and roughly 500 volunteers on the event day), enabling efficient distribution and a sizable in-person event each year.

Robust sponsor and in-kind support

Maintains longstanding corporate and community partnerships (including major sponsors and repeated in-kind donors) that supply significant toy inventory and event support; large in-kind toy donations have been a recurring feature of the program.
