Organization Information


Organization: Christmas Anonymous

Sector: 501C-3 Non-Profit

Organization Mission: Christmas Anonymous is an organization local to Rochester Minnesota that has been in existence for over 50 years. It is a 100% volunteer organization, whose sole mission is to help families and people in need in Olmsted county have a wonderful Christmas. To enable that, Christmas Anonymous accepts donations of food, toys, outerwear, and bicycles; and then distributes these articles back to needy families. Christmas Anonymous is 100% supported by donations from the community. There are no paid positions and we minimize our expenses by getting discounts and donations of goods and services whenever possible, and we shop for the best possible deals. Currently we help the community in two ways: Helping families in need via our ‘store’ where parents can shop without paying for new and used toys, bicycles, teen gifts, boys and girls new clothing, hats, gloves, knitwear, used boots/skates, gift wrap, new and used outerwear, and food for a holiday meal for the entire family. Helping seniors in need with boxes of food for a holiday meal, stationery, and other household items.

About Beam
  • For the commercial sector, we tend to register startup activities (new companies and new commercial projects) that bring diversification and high-impact opportunities to the area.
  • For the non-profit sector, we wish to shine light on all the organizations and services that otherwise labor under relative obscurity.
  • Our hope is that dmcbeam.org will encourage cross-sector collaborations and creative solutions.

While there are a number of registries in the community, dmcbeam.org's  distinct value is to pilot a database with a data structure and categorizations that answer the questions such as: What organizations or projects/programs in our community that have purported relevance with some of the over-arching focuses put forward by initiatives such as DMC, J2G and Health Improvements?

This database could be used as one of the ways to explore the capacities of the community. If you are someone on an exploratory journey to learn about the greater Rochester community. dmcbeam.org could be an interesting first step.
