Climb aboard the Holiday Express!

The Holiday Express is back! For years Solid Ground has invited the community to share the magic of the holidays with the families we serve. Holiday donors have brought joy to hundreds of children and relief to many parents who might have otherwise struggled to afford gifts. We are excited to invite our supporters back this year to share the holiday spirit!

How it works

Each family at Solid Ground will complete their Wish List of items. Family members will write up to three gifts they would like to receive. As we collect Wish Lists, we match families with community donors who shop to fulfill their Wish Lists. We’ll start matching donors with families on November 1st.

How you can help

Fulfill a Wish List
Purchase gifts for a family by using their personalized Wish List. Bring the gifts (wrapped or unwrapped) to Solid Ground by December 13th for distribution.

Host a Gift Drive
Help organize gift drives at schools, neighborhoods, businesses, and faith communities. Contact Dylan at 651-846-9024 to learn more!

Volunteer
Help receive holiday gift packages from donors at East Metro Place. Assist with unloading donors’ vehicles, transporting gifts inside the building, and organizing gift packages. Times needed are December 9th, 11th, and 13th, 9:00 am – 12:00 pm or 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm.

Help distribute gifts from East Metro Place, as well as arrange for delivery to families in our scattered site programs. Times needed are December 17th, 4:00 – 6:30 pm.

Donate
Unable to shop for an entire family? No worries! Solid Ground also welcomes financial contributions as well as unwrapped gifts, and uses the items and funds that are collected to assemble gift packages for families that were unable to be matched with a donor.
