This year’s event will take place on Saturday, December 9 at Creekside Community Church.

**Please note: All families must be affiliated with one of our agency partners to be supported by the Miracle on Main Street event.**

Miracle on Main Street provides holiday magic to local children and is a tradition that our League cherishes. For over 30 years, the Junior League of Gainesville has put on this signature event for families in the greater Alachua County area who might not otherwise have gifts and other necessities for their children over the holidays. 

Throughout the year, our League collects new toys, bikes, games, puzzles, dolls, books, clothes, diapers, and other supplies. In partnership with local agencies, we distribute the gifts and items to local families in early December during this interactive event.

How can you help?

• Volunteer to help make the event a success. The Junior League of Gainesville invites members of the community to help volunteer to make the event a success. Email moms@gainesvillejrleague.org for more information or sign up for a volunteer shift here.
• Become a sponsor. Sponsorship of the Miracle on Main Street provides funds for our League to purchase toys, bikes, and other necessary goods and services for our event. At a variety of levels, a local company can become a corporate sponsor. Individual sponsors can also choose to sponsor a family, child, or big-ticket item.
• Host a toy, clothing, or diaper drive at your office or next event. You can collect items at your workplace, school, place of worship, or other community event. Need our league to pick up the items you collect or want to arrange drop off? Please email moms@gainesvillejrleague.org.
• Shop for a specific family. If you are interested in shopping for the needs of a particular family, please email moms@gainesvillejrleague.org and we can gladly provide you with one or more family’s wish lists.
• Donate your gently used clothes. Have clothes in good condition that could have a second life? Please email moms@gainesvillejrleague.org and we can arrange pick-up or drop-off of these items.
