Our Story
Helping Waukesha County Children Since 1949
Since 1949, the Christmas Clearing Council of Waukesha County has been promoting and coordinating the giving to families in need during the Christmas season. We provide a clearinghouse that matches families with area groups, families, businesses, and individuals who wish to help people less fortunate in our community. In 2019, we coordinated giving to more than 1,900 families and nearly 4,300 children in Waukesha County.

IT Committee
Ben Hein
Years ago, I was asked to help with one of the Toy Shop events that CCC organized. Seeing the passion of the workers combined with the happiness and appreciation of attendees motivated me to get involved. There is something special about making sure that Christmas is a memorable time for children. Helping to make each Christmas memorable for children that would not otherwise be able to experience it like they should was a no-brainer for me. I feel honored to be involved with this organization.
