The Jingle Store is our annual, free community event where 900 low-income children can come and “shop” for gifts to give to those they love. The free event is held at The Riverhouse in Bend, Oregon, on December 15th & 16th. Each child 2-17 will get $10 in Jingle Bucks to use to “shop” for gifts to give to those they love. We will have gift wrapping available for kids to have their presents wrapped before going home.

Children will be able to interact with snowy princesses, Buddy the Elf, Frozen Friends, Santa and his helpers, snowmen, and so much more! They will be able to shop for sweets in a magical gingerbread house, where they are welcomed by gumdrops and icing. Lastly, they will enter Candy Cane Lane Toy Store, where they will be surrounded by fun shopping and surprises galore!

Santa's Plate takes everything special about Jingle Store and shares it with the community, all to support a wonderful cause. This event raises funds to provide 900 low-income children in Central Oregon with the opportunity to experience the Jingle Store at no cost.

Families visiting Santa's Plate will be transported through enchanting scenes, allowing children to meet Santa, Buddy the Elf, Star Wars characters, ballerinas, and princesses. The real highlight is when your child gets to create their very own Santa's Cookie Plate, a cherished keepsake to hold onto forever.

It's not just an event; it's a heartfelt experience that we hope will create lasting holiday memories for all who attend.

Jingle Christmas Makeovers at The Giving Plate are a heartwarming opportunity for families with children aged 0-17. Up to four families will be chosen to receive a “Christmas Makeover” valued at up to $2,500 courtesy of local community groups and organizations. To be considered for this special opportunity, families will share their stories through an online application. Generous sponsors will then pick the winning families, and each sponsor will decide how to spend the money to bring joy and blessings to these deserving families during the holiday season. It's a beautiful way our community comes together to make Christmas a little brighter for our neighbors in need.
