Holiday Market

Thank You for helping us provide over 3,300 gifts to children & families impacted by abuse in 2025

What is the WCCAC Holiday Market?

The WCCAC Holiday Market gives families who have recently received services from the Williamson County Children’s Advocacy Center the opportunity to experience the joy of giving and receiving during the holiday season.

Caregivers can “shop” for gifts for their children at no cost, choosing items that are meaningful and age-appropriate for each child. But the experience is about more than what caregivers take home. Children also have the opportunity to choose gifts for their caregivers, giving them a chance to experience the joy of giving during the holidays.

While caregivers shop, children spend time with our volunteers in a special holiday space where they can choose gifts for their caregivers, watch Christmas movies, make holiday crafts, and enjoy time together.

Once the family has finished shopping, our volunteers wrap all of the gifts and bring them out to the family’s car, so families can leave with everything ready for the holidays.

The Holiday Market is made possible entirely through the generosity of our community. There are many ways you can help make this experience possible for local children and families. Donate gifts, host a holiday drive, make a financial contribution, or volunteer your time.

Get Involved:
Give a Gift

Help us stock the Holiday Market with new, unwrapped gifts for children and families.

Our greatest needs include:

  • Gift cards, especially for older children and teens
  • Gifts for teens
  • Wrapping paper and giftwrap supplies

Donations of all sizes make a difference. You can shop from our Amazon Wish List or make a financial donation to help us purchase items based on the needs of families participating in the Market.

New, unwrapped gifts are requested by early December so we can prepare the Market for families. Donations will continue to be accepted throughout the holiday season as we replenish items.

Host a Drive

Want to bring your friends, family, coworkers, school, church, or community group together to support local children and families?

Host a Holiday Market drive!

A gift drive is a meaningful way to turn your community’s generosity into gifts that families can choose from at the Holiday Market. We are happy to help provide information and resources to make your drive a success.
