For over 50 years, LifeWise StL has celebrated the spirit of the holiday season through our Holiday Market. Serving hundreds of families who have participated in programming over the past year, the Holiday Market offers low-cost, carefully curated NEW household and clothing items, as well as age-appropriate toys. Our aim is to strengthen and encourage families who have made progress or achieved goals they set through program participation while connecting them with the generosity of our donors.

This year’s Holiday Market will run from December 6-13, 2024 (including set-up and take-down) at the 12th and Park Recreation Center.

Spread a little cheer during LifeWise StL’s Holiday Market December 6-13, 2024. Volunteer opportunities associated with this affordable holiday market include set-up (which includes transforming a gym into a retail space, complete with tables and clothing racks); filling the store with gifts (clothes, toys, books, bikes, etc.); and also serving as personal shoppers, cashiers, and someone to help participants out to their vehicles with their purchases.
