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.

Creative Ways to Help CCC
There are so many ways to spread holiday cheer! Whether you’re looking to rally a group, donate, volunteer your talents, or simply help us reach more families, your support makes a difference.
🎄 1. Sponsor a Family
Gather your friends, youth group, club, co-workers, or organization and sponsor a family — or several families — for the holidays.
Family sponsorship registration opens in early September.
🪙 2. Start a Fundraiser
Turn a little creativity into a lot of holiday cheer! Host a penny drive, casual day, holiday-themed party, or other fundraiser with your organization or business and donate the proceeds to CCC.
☀️ 3. Host a “Jingle in July” Party
Who says holiday giving has to wait until December? Add some “sparkle” to your summer by hosting a Jingle in July party and collecting funds or gift cards for CCC.
To arrange a pickup of donated items, email info@christmasclearingcouncil.org.
🎁 4. Organize a Gift Card Drive
Make giving easy by collecting gift cards at your business, church, school, or organization and donating them to CCC.
❤️ 5. Give Instead of Exchange
Challenge five friends, family members, or co-workers to donate to CCC instead of exchanging holiday gifts. A small change can make a big difference for local families.
💌 6. Create Handmade Holiday Cards
Put your creativity to work! Make handmade cards that CCC can distribute to families during the season.
For additional details, call our office after Oct. 5 or email info@christmasclearingcouncil.org anytime.
📱 7. Follow & Share
One of the easiest ways to help is to follow CCC on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn and share our posts with your friends, family, and community.
Every share helps us reach more people who want to make a difference.
🤝 8. Share Your Talents
Do you have a skill, talent, or professional experience that could benefit CCC? We’d love to hear from you!
Contact info@christmasclearingcouncil.org to explore ways you can get involved with the board.
🇪🇸 9. Help Us Serve Spanish-Speaking Families
Are you fluent in Spanish and interested in helping in the CCC office? Your language skills could make a meaningful difference for local families.
Contact info@christmasclearingcouncil.org to learn more.
✨ However You Choose to Help, It Matters
From sponsoring a family to sharing a social media post, every act of generosity helps CCC bring holiday joy to local families. Find the opportunity that’s right for you and join us in making the season brighter!
