Christmas Anonymous Inc

Christmas Anonymous is an organization local to Rochester, Minnesota that has been in existence for over 65 years. It is a 100% volunteer organization whose sole mission is to help families and people in need in Olmsted county have a wonderful Christmas.  To enable that, Christmas Anonymous accepts donations of toys and then distributes these back to families in need.  Christmas Anonymous is fully supported by donations from the community. There are no paid positions and we minimize our expenses by getting discounts and donations of goods and services whenever possible, and we shop for the best possible deals.  Currently we help the community in two ways:

• Helping families in need via our "store" where parents can "shop" - free of charge - for new and gently-used toys, teen gifts, boys and girls new clothing, new hats and gloves, and new or used shoes, boots, and skates.
• Helping seniors in need by delivering food for a holiday meal and other household items.

In 2024, Christmas Anonymous provided gifts to 1,743 children ages 0 to 18 and food bags to 300 seniors.  

We are extremely grateful for to KTTC for hosting its annual Toy Drive to benefit Christmas Anonymous.  We receive a truckload of toys from all Santas in town!!  We rely on financial donations to purchase clothing, teen gifts, knitwear, and food.  Please join us in bringing joy to needy parents, children, and seniors in our community!
