Backstretch worker | Sarah Andrew

The Belmont Child Care Association, Inc. (BCCA) is once again rolling out its Annual Holiday Shopping Day on Saturday, Dec. 6, at Anna House located in Belmont Park, the organization said in a press release on Friday.

Each year, more than 500 children from New York's Thoroughbred backstretch community experience a day filled with wonder and joy as they “shop” for gifts for their loved ones. Every item is brand new and no money is exchanged. The event is entirely free for families, which is made possible through donors, sponsors and volunteers.

Among the BCCA volunteers this year is Jazmin, the 2025 Volunteer of the Year, who is an eighth grader and proud graduate of the programs at Anna House.

You can help by clicking here to donate through the BCCA website or here for the Amazon wish list.
