Every kit supports youth mentoring!
If you’ve ordered a kit before, you already know the magic!
They make the perfect gift, a fun night with friends or family, or just a cozy holiday tradition to kick off the season.
If you’re new to this local favorite, here’s the scoop: every year, our staff and a small army of volunteers spend a week in our office assembling these kits with love (and sugar… lots of sugar). It’s one of our biggest fundraisers of the year, helping us host our special Gingerbread House Workshop for youth, their Big Buddies, and families.

“These gingerbread houses are everything I didn’t know I needed for the holiday season. The pre-made house is beautiful and it comes with everything you need to creatively decorate with your kiddos. The way they are packaged makes them perfect for gifting or hosting your own little gingerbread house party!”
