Helping alleviate hunger inside our neighboring communities of Butte County, CA.

Elfs-R-Us Christmas Program
Sign-ups for the 2026 Holiday Season Begin October 01, 2026 and End November 15, 2026
THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR ALL THE AMAZING DONATIONS AND SUPPORT !!
With your support Elfs-R-U gifted 202 children in need during the holiday season, distributing a total of 1,121 gifts, plus stocking filled with fun for our Lil Elfs of Butte County.
Our Mission is to help families in need share the joy of Christmas with their little ones. We volunteer our time to collect age appropriate gifts and funding needed through public donations, so children ages 0-12 can receive a minimum of 2 gifts each, who otherwise might face receiving nothing for Christmas.
Whether you're visiting to learn about Elfs-R-Us, signing your kiddo up to participate in our Lil Elfs Club, or help Butte County families this holiday season, we appreciate your support!
Donations help impact children's lives and bring
the joy of Christmas alive!
