Partners

You bring help families need.

A Partner is an organization that serves families: a nonprofit, a clinic, a county or state office, a school, a church, a legal aid or job program, or a business giving its services for free. Partners bring real help into the room, at no cost to the families.

How you fit into Operation Holiday®

  • You are one of the services under one roof at Every Day Is Christmas®, so a family can get a screening, sign up for benefits, find housing help or meet a job counselor in the same afternoon.
  • Families leave with more than gifts. They leave with a path forward, and you are part of that path.
  • We bring the families. You bring what you do best.
What you gainFace-to-face time with the very families you exist to serve, all in one room, in a setting full of trust and joy. Fill your programs, reach people who never walk into an office, and build relationships that last all year.
Vendors

You grow your business.

A Vendor is a business that gets paid for what it does: a product, a service, or both. The food truck, the barber, the dentist, the makeup artist, the karate school, the yoga studio, the bookstore. At Every Day Is Christmas®, everything you offer is free to our guests. It is your chance to introduce your business by letting families experience it.

Ways to share your business

Show itGive a live demonstration or teach a free class: a Zumba session, a karate lesson, a cooking demo.
Taste itHand out samples guests can enjoy on the spot: food, drinks, treats.
Wear itGive them a fresh haircut, a nail polish, a makeup look, a pair of socks or a hat.
Hold itSend them home with something in hand: a toy, a book, a gift, a free trial pass.
What you gainExposure that money can't buy. You are meeting your future clients and customers, local families, face to face, on one of the happiest days of their year. They will remember who made their day, and they will come find you.
Not sure which one you are?If families pay you for what you do, you are a Vendor. If you bring services or resources to families at no cost, you are a Partner. You can switch sides on the form below at any time.
