Giving Back to Community

In the true spirit of the season, Christmas in America will continue its commitment to giving back. Ten percent (10%) of all sales will support three (3) deserving local Mount Vernon nonprofit organizations. It’s our way of sharing the magic — not just through beautiful décor, but by spreading kindness and cheer where it’s needed most.

Our goal is to introduce the marvels of science to children on a systematic, frequent and regularly scheduled basis, enabling them to experience, explore, and personalize the resulting discoveries. We offer students access and exposure to enriched STEM learning that empowers them with the desire, motivation, and skills needed to pursue careers as doctors, scientist, technologists and engineers.
The Youth Community Outreach Program (Y-COP) welcomes all youth and young adults regardless of race, culture, and/or socioeconomic status. Y-COP introduces all youth to programs that emphasize, enhance and enrich their educational, recreational, community, and cultural awareness.
The Boys & Girls Club of Mount Vernon offers programs for youth in our community to help them learn and grow in a safe, fun environment.Every day, our dedicated, highly trained staff and volunteers serve over 1,400 youth members with a wide variety of engaging, interactive activities and programs to help them improve their self- esteem, develop positive values, and achieve their highest potential in academic success.
