THE HEART OF CHRISTMAS MAGIC
Care that includes the caregiver.
A child’s wish list matters. So does a parent’s chance to feel seen. We’re planning holiday food, thoughtfully selected children’s gifts, and a meaningful gift for caregivers—with seasonal extras as donations allow.
What your support can make possible
Holiday food
Groceries or store gift cards matched to household dietary needs.
Children & caregivers
Age-appropriate gifts guided by family wish lists, plus a thoughtful gift for a parent, guardian, or caregiver.
Moments of joy
Pajamas, trees, decorations, wrapping supplies, and family activities as resources allow.
Our first priorities are food, children’s gifts, and caregiver gifts. Seasonal extras depend on confirmed donations and family preferences.
