Why Donate
Our Mission
We’re committed to changing the lives of children at Christmas by boosting their self-esteem and confidence, showing them that they are just as valued and important as anyone else, by gifting them with full Christmas experiences. From the tree to the dinner to the gifts and more - by participating in Gift-a-Family, you’re making a meaningful impact on their future.
Where your Donation Goes
Volunteers will use your donation to shop a child’s Wishlist, ensuring that your money goes towards Christmas items the child will truly connect with and be excited about.
Further more, your donation will go towards ensuring the child gets the full experience - from making sure they have a fully decked out Christmas tree, traditional Christmas dinner, gingerbread house, gifts, Elf on a Shelf and so much more. The Volunteer will deliver the gifts directly to the parent in their home ensuring everything arrives safely. Please note that we are not registered charity but rather a grass-roots initiative. Therefor no charitable receipts are available
Who We’re Helping:
This campaign focuses on children who aren’t reached by traditional charitable organizations because their parents are unable, unwilling, or incapable of seeking help. These are the forgotten children—kids who’ve never experienced a typical Christmas, often leading to lifelong feelings of loneliness, worthlessness, and low self-esteem.
