The holidays can be difficult for families facing financial or housing instability. Your generosity through this drive ensures that children receive gifts that brighten their holiday, creating heartwarming memories for families to cherish.

Gift Requests Pouring In Faster Than Ever

The need for support this holiday season is greater than ever. Last year, it took two weeks to receive all the gift requests from families in need. This year, those same requests poured in within just two days! This surge shows how many families are struggling we need your help to ensure that every child receives a gift and experiences a bit of joy this holiday season.

Last Year, Your Gifts Brought Joy to Families in Need

Last year, your generosity brightened the holidays for many. Here are just a few who received toys through our Giving Together Gift Drive:

• A mother with three children, rebuilding their lives after fleeing domestic violence.
• A family with three children, struggling financially after their father’s work-related injury.
• A mother with four children, staying in transitional housing. Her youngest son, just 1 year old, battles a heart condition and has been in and out of the hospital.
