This year, Jersey City came together to make some magic.
All season long, gifts have been arriving at JCPAL. They've come from local businesses and community organizations, neighbors and families, and people who simply wanted a child in our city to wake up to something special this holiday.
Now every one of those gifts has somewhere to go.
On December 23rd, we're opening our doors for PAL-cember to Remember. It's an afternoon of gifts, good food, laughter, and the kind of holiday joy children carry with them long after the wrapping paper is gone.
What awaits
A day made for wonder
The Toy Giveaway
Every child who joins us leaves with a gift chosen just for them, donated with love by the Jersey City community.
Holiday Food & Treats
Warm food, sweet treats, and plenty to go around. Come hungry.
Bounce Houses
Room to jump, run, and burn off all that holiday excitement.
And So Much More
Music, games, holiday surprises, and moments you'll want to capture.
The heart of it
More than a giveaway
For more than 45 years, JCPAL has been a place where the young people of Jersey City are seen, supported, and celebrated. PAL-cember to Remember is how we close out the year: with a whole community saying to every child who walks through our doors, you matter, and this season is for you too.
This is the day the city wraps its arms around its children. We'd love for yours to be there.
Some days become memories. This is one of them.
Join us December 23rd for PAL-cember to Remember.
