TESSA’s Holiday Shoppe is an annual giving event that helps make the holidays brighter for survivors and their families. Each year, more than 100 families have the opportunity to “shop” at no cost for new toys, gifts, and essentials generously donated by our community.

Holiday Shoppe is designed to be a warm, dignity-centered experience where survivors can choose gifts that feel personal and meaningful for themselves and their children.

Community members, businesses, and organizations can support Holiday Shoppe by hosting a donation drive, purchasing items from our Holiday Shoppe Amazon Wish List, or donating new, unwrapped gifts. All items purchased from our Holiday Shoppe Amazon Wishlist are delivered directly to TESSA. We are accepting donations through December 11th, 2026.
