Dear Friends, On behalf of the Board of Trustees and the General Committee, we are delighted to welcome you to the Christmas Shop Foundation’s 2014 event. Now in its 94th year, The Christmas Shop Foundation continues to be a vital source of funding for many non-profit organizations in the State of Delaware. This past year, proceeds from our fundraising efforts were granted to 48 Delaware organizations. The Christmas Shop Foundation provided funding for such necessary items as food, clothing and emergency shelter as well as funding for the arts and educational endeavors in the State. The Christmas Shop Foundation is proud to support these organizations and looks forward to many more years of service to the community.

The Perfect Gift

We are thrilled to bring back two wonderful traditions this year. The “Top of the Shop” will host both a luncheon and a tea on Tuesday afternoon. We hope that you will make these events part of your holiday tradition. In addition, we are also offering a “Perfect Re-Gift” booth this year. Please be sure to stop by and pick up a treasure!! We would like to thank each and every one of the more than 60 dedicated volunteers who have brought this event to the DuPont Country Club. Beginning every January, this dedicated team of women works many long hours researching and contacting the very best Exhibitors to invite to . Our volunteers have also worked on everything from newspaper ads to layout spacing to decorating the club to perfection and we are most grateful for their efforts. If you would like to be a part of our volunteer group for the 2015 show, please contact us at [email protected]. We would be so glad to welcome you! We would also like to thank our many sponsors, without whom our event would not be possible.

The Perfect Gift

We hope that you will enjoy browsing the shops, talking with our vendors and finding , either for you or for a loved one.

“The Longest Running Christmas Shop in the United States”

In 1920, The Women’s Club of Trinity Church established The Christmas Shop as a fundraising event to benefit the Wilmington community. The first of its kind, our event has served as a model for similar shops throughout the country. The Christmas Shop was originally held in the showroom of the Wilmington Auto Company, now the Nemours Building. In 1924, the event moved to the Gold Ballroom of the Hotel du Pont and, in 1983, to the DuPont Country Club. The Christmas Shop was incorporated in 1952. In 1983 we became a community organization independent of Trinity Church, and a formal grant program was adopted in 1986. In 2003, in order to heighten community awareness of our fundraising efforts, our organization was renamed The Christmas Shop Foundation, and a formal mission statement was adopted. was introduced as the name of our premier fundraising event. As The Christmas Shop Foundation celebrates its 94th year, it has never faltered from its place as a viable organization in the community, and it continues its commitment to enriching lives and helping people in need throughout the State.
