this holiday season, we’ve selected 10 low-income families to receive basic essentials and gifts for every family member!
Since (and prior to) the outbreak of Covid-19, these families have been through the toughest of times. Single parents, 5+ kids, grandparents or kids with special needs to take care of, and deaths in the family, celebrating the holidays can be extremely difficult. We empathize with our community families and acknowledge the system’s lack of aid. Especially during the holiday season in a capitalist country, we are pressured to buy gifts, so marginalized low-income families can sometimes feel like they are letting their kids down when they can’t afford to put presents under the tree.
We will do our best fulfill their basic needs and wants so they can celebrate with less weight on their shoulders.
HERE’S HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT:
DONATE A GIFT
View their full wish lists to see what you can donate!
Purchase it on our registry have it delivered straight to us. Already have it or purchased elsewhere, schedule an appointment to drop it off!
DONATE A NEW OUTFIT
The most asked for items were clothes, so each family member provided their clothing and shoe size. With a better sense of what they’d like from reading their wish list, you can donate a brand new outfit or two or three. You can also donate a single item too.
!!! Note: We are NOT collecting random bags of clothes. We are only collecting clothing items that are specifically for one of the family members.
VOLUNTEER YOUR TIME
Join us at our next Sorting Day on November 20 and 28 from 10am - 2pm to help sort and wrap all our gifts, plus make super warm fleece blankets with us.
Volunteer on Distribution Day on December 4th from 10am - 2pm and help make this a fun and festive experience.
DONATE MONEY
All proceeds will go towards purchasing any gifts that we’re not donated, as well as gift wrap supplies, blankets, and decor for our Holiday Loving Distribution! We always post transparency sheets so you know exactly where your money goes. You’re donation is so greatly appreciated!
To distribute, we want to give these families a fun and festive experience! We plan on doing a Holiday Tunnel Drive-Through with Santa, hot chocolate, and more!
