​Christ mas in July is an annual initiative Broward County participates in with Kiwanis International to help homeless children in our community. One of the most devastating consequences of homelessness is the impact it can have on a child's education. Frequent school transfers and the stigma associated with living in a shelter are great hardships for these children. Many begin the school year with no backpacks, school supplies and/or new clothes.

Show Broward County's children that you care! You can drop off items from the list below at any of the Broward County locations listed. You can also make monetary donations through PayPal on the Christmas in July website. If you are purchasing items on Amazon, you can select Christmas In July, Inc. as your charity and order on Amazon Smile. A  percentage of your purchase will be donated to Christmas in July. ​
