Give a Holiday Gift to a Child

Help spread the joy of the holiday with children and teens living in poverty. Volunteers are invited to purchase a gift or items valued between $15-$25 for a child or teen of a specific age. The gift will be included inside packages of clothing distributed to children in December. Please do NOT wrap your gift; rather, pack it into a gift bag. Feel free to create or include a card with an inclusive message, being mindful that the children served come from varying backgrounds.
