The 2025 Holiday Season is here!

The McChord BX and Lewis-Main PX are offering your organization the opportunity to fundraise by wrapping gifts for donations throughout the holiday season. 

Before signing up, please read the following instructions:

  • Tables are provided by AAFES. If chairs are desired, your organization must provide them. Do not use the chairs from the food court.
  • Wrapping paper and boxes (while supplies last) will be provided by the Exchange.  Your organization must bring all other materials, such as scissors, tape, Post-it notes, pens, etc.
  • You must supply your own donation box.  This fundraising event is approved based on "donations only". Do not put up signage that suggests any dollar amounts for gift wrapping.
  • You must have a printed sign prominently placed on the table stating the name of your organization. Please, no handwritten signs.
  • At the end of your shift, please clean the area.  Tablecloths will be provided to neatly cover the gift wrap and any remaining boxes so that items are available for the next group. If the location is left a mess when the organization leaves, they will not be granted a return visit. 

Lewis-Main PX: The table will be located to the left hallway as you walk in the Exchange near the Military Clothing Store.  This site may move temporarily from time to time, depending on vendor scheduling.

 McChord BX: The table will be located at the previous site of the flower shop; inside the main doors on the right.

To sign up, click this link with a personal, non-DOD computer and fill out the form.
