Holiday Giving Guide

Every year around the holidays, thoughtful community members reach out with a desire to help bridge the gaps for kids and families experiencing foster care.

And because we serve these kids and families all year long, we focus our efforts on the specific areas that consistently stand out as the biggest needs for children and caregivers.

We know that kids in care often receive an excess number of toys during the holidays, while other areas of their holistic care can go overlooked, so several years ago, we launched Christmas Beyond the Toys. It’s a simple campaign designed with the particulars of foster, kinship, and reunifying families in mind.

If you’d like to join us in walking alongside a family in need of encouragement this holiday season, please take some time to look through our Holiday Giving Guide.

Thank you for being the village for families all across our city this Christmas season!

Christmas Beyond the Toys

Help us meet critical needs this holiday season through our annual Christmas Beyond the Toys campaign. Equip families with weighted blankets and therapeutic swings that provide comfort and care to children with sensory processing challenges. Ensure families have bunk beds and cribs to help keep siblings together. Help families build connection through our trauma-informed therapeutic support sessions. Your contributions to Christmas Beyond the Toys will sustain families far beyond this holiday season.

 

Amazon Wish List

If you love the holiday shopping season, take a peek at our Amazon Wish List. Join our community in stocking our resource centers with everything needed to support families as children enter foster care or return to their biological families. This season, you can shop from the comfort of home and make a difference by equipping families with what they need for a brighter holiday.

 

Donation Drives

Gather your group and support vulnerable kids and families this Christmas by organizing a donation drive for our most needed items. It’s a fun and meaningful way for your faith community, business, or neighborhood to get involved as we work together to support children and families this holiday season.

 

 

Holiday Meal Kits

Help make the holidays extra special for a family by packing a box with Holiday Meal Kit items. Your generosity will ensure families can enjoy a warm, festive meal around the table together. It’s a simple but powerful way to spread joy and help create lasting memories for families needing support this season.
