CMHA Grey Bruce Christmas Store Returns December 4

Nov 13, 2025

CMHA Grey Bruce is excited to bring back its annual Christmas Store, a beloved tradition that brings joy, dignity and holiday cheer to the people we support. This year’s Christmas Store will take place on Thursday December 4 in Owen Sound.

The Christmas Store gives CMHA Grey Bruce clients the chance to “shop” at no cost for gifts for their loved ones. When guests arrive, they are welcomed by a team of cheerful elves who help them choose meaningful gifts and wrap them so they are ready to go under the tree.

“This event helps make the holidays brighter for the people we support. It gives them the chance to take part in the tradition of gift giving and to feel the excitement and pride that comes with choosing something special for someone they care about,” said Kim McMahon, Human Resources Coordinator and Holiday Elf at CMHA Grey Bruce.

We are seeking new, unwrapped gifts suitable for all ages, interests and genders. Items such as toys, books, warm clothing, personal care products, household essentials and accessories are all appreciated. Donations of gift wrap, gift bags and tape are also helpful.
