Present Palooza

Offered annually during December, this event is a three-day celebration of the spirit of giving that propels us year-round. We are able to procure $100,000+ worth of gifts (toys, shoes, clothing, bath/beauty, and more), and we create a “shopping” experience for our EAKC kids and families for two days of afterschool, before opening our space to the broader community for a full day of “shopping” on Friday before the holiday break. We are able to put thousands of gifts into the community for a total cost of ~$9,000. This event ensures that our kids and families not only receive gifts for the holidays, but also that they are able to give to their friends and families. For 2025, the full cost of all gifts for EAKC youth and the community will be covered by generous contributions from 12 Days of Christmas – Atlanta Chapter and East Atlanta Runs! Donations of gift wrapping supplies and holiday refreshments for youth and volunteers are welcome and can be coordinated by messaging our team at operations@eastatlantakids.org!
