Christmas Tree Ship - Send a Holiday Gift Donation

Give the Gift of Holiday Cheer The holidays are a time for giving! You can make the season brighter by contributing a gift card donation to help local families meet their holiday needs. Gift cards will be distributed by our community partners—East Toledo Family Center, Family House, Lucas County Children Services, and Sylvania Area Family Services—to help local families meet their holiday needs. Donations toward gift cards will be accepted through December 5, 2025. 🎄 Join us Saturday, December 5 for the Christmas Tree Ship event! Watch Santa Claus arrive by tugboat with a load of Christmas trees and enjoy free admission to the museum all day.
