The Christmas Season is here, and that means it’s time for Light Orlando’s 4th Annual Community Christmas Project! Mark your calendars for December 7th, 2024, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM at Edgewater High School for an incredible volunteer opportunity and a night of service you won't want to miss.
If you’ve been to one of our Christmas events before, you already know how amazing it feels to spread some holiday cheer. If not, this is your year to jump in and see what it’s all about! Either way, we have the perfect volunteer opportunity for you!
We Need YOU!
This is your chance to give back while having fun. Here’s how you can help:
Put together Christmas stockings for kids who might not get much this season.
Make friendship bracelets for children in the hospital.
Create blankets to keep people in need warm this winter.
Oh, and don’t forget to bring along an unopened pack of undergarments or fun band-aids—two of the most requested items by shelters.

What We Did Last Year
Last year’s event was a testament to just how much we can achieve when we come together as a community. Over 350 volunteers came out to the UCF Downtown Campus, filling the room with energy and holiday spirit. Together, we:
Made 700 children’s Christmas stockings (big and small).
Assembled 250 senior stockings.
Put together 800 hygiene kits for men and women.
Most of these went to The Salvation Army Angel Tree Program, spreading joy to kids and seniors who needed it most.
In a quote captured by our partners at News 6 WKMG, Light Orlando Program Officer summed last year's event up perfectly, stating,
“I’m just amazed at how many people showed up to help. It’s incredible to live in a city where people are so eager to serve and make a difference!”
Ready to make a difference? We can’t wait to see you there! Let’s make this Christmas unforgettable for those who need it most.
