MCC is celebrating 45 Years of Gift Giving!
You can find MCC at our office on the Marshfield Fairgrounds (Gate B on Route 3A) Nov 29 - Dec 24, 2024.
Marshfield Community Christmas Inc (MCC) is registered as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that was established in 1979 with a mission to assist residents facing financial difficulties during the holiday season. MCC's goal is to make sure that every child in Marshfield experiences the magic of Christmas morning, regardless of their family's financial situation.
1979: Marshfield Community Christmas was founded by John “Uncle Bud” Nangle (Marshfield Kiwanis Charter member), Joe Linskey (former Marshfield selectman), and John Clancy (Marshfield Kiwanis member).
1980: John Nangle invited George Earle to join and lead the group.
1979-2019: Marshfield Community Christmas provided members of our community facing financial hardship with new toys, small gifts, and food certificates.
2020: The COVID-19 pandemic forced MCC to close our office to the public and shift our focus to gift cards. Patriot Ledger

The past two years have been incredibly difficult for us since George Earle passed away in December 2022. With a heavy heart, Brenda Earle managed to continue Marshfield Community Christmas in 2023, thanks to the support of many friends and family members.
Throughout 2023-2024, Brenda faced her own health challenges but still found a way to make Marshfield Community Christmas happen.
Tragically, both Brenda and her father passed away just days apart in May 2024. After Brenda's passing, Erik suddenly became the president of Marshfield Community Christmas. Since then, we have established a strong board, including George Earle's family members, Tyler & Kelsea Judge, to continue this cherished tradition.
Thank You to everyone for your continued support and generous donations.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy & Healthy New Year!
