Nana’s Holiday House

Nana’s Holiday House has opened it’s doors for the 7th year at 175 First Street (formerly the Rumor Mill) with hundreds’s of new and island crafted items, ranging from $1.00 to $10.00.

Nana’s house was started to provide our island kids (1-18 years of age) a place to buy affordable gifts for their families, teachers and friends. A “parent’s lounge” is available for the grown ups to munch on donated baked goods while the kids shop for secret gifts and have their gifts wrapped.

All the proceeds from Nana’s House go back to the community. Scholarships, school supplies, swimming lesson, tutoring, art classes, food and gas cards and help for families going through tough times are just a few of the recipients of Nana’s house profits.

Nana’s House is open from December 1st through the 23rd. Weekend hours are from 11-5 and after school hours are 3-5. Although this is a store for kids only, the last day (December 23rd) is open to all family members. Even SANTA shops for stocking stuffers at Nana’s House.

Many islanders volunteer their time with minding the store; donating items, wrapping gifts, baking cookies, setting up the store, taking down the store and sharing the joy of Christmas with the kids. It takes a village, and we certainly have one!
