Smiles Make the Greatest Gifts

Providing much needed assistance during the holiday season

Donate Now

Every year, parents must choose between giving their children gifts or paying bills. Individuals facing poverty often spend the holidays without the warmth of a shared meal or even a support system.

The holidays can bring added financial and emotional stress to families and individuals living in poverty. From gifts for children in need to special meals for those who would otherwise go without fellowship on the holidays and meeting other basic needs - we aim to bring joy back into the season.

Red Kettles

The Annual Red Kettle is our biggest fundraising event. This program represents the community spirit of giving at its best— through the funds that are raised and the hundreds of volunteers who make this effort possible. We are always seeking volunteers and groups to ring bells at our iconic red kettles.

Siempre estamos buscando voluntarios y grupos para hacer sonar las campanas en nuestros icónicos Red Kettles.

Adopt-a-Family

All families should be able to experience the joy of Christmas morning. Our Adopt-a-Family program allows local agencies, participating businesses, and groups to meet more comprehensive material needs for families beyond toys and food for Christmas. As there are many in need during the Christmas holiday season, please know that if you are chosen for this program, you won’t need to receive gifts from any other programs.

Todas las familias deberían poder experimentar la alegría de la mañana de Navidad. Nuestro programa Adopt-a-Family permite que las agencias locales, las empresas participantes y los grupos satisfagan necesidades materiales más amplias para las familias, más allá de los juguetes y la comida para Navidad. Como hay muchas personas necesitadas durante la temporada navideña, tenga en cuenta que si lo eligen para este programa, no necesitará recibir regalos de ningún otro programa.

Angel Tree

Our Angel Tree program provides warm winter clothing, toys, and other needed items to children up to 12 years of age. Participants select a child to shop for and purchase gifts from their Christmas wishlist. Families can sign up for assistance during the fall. As there are many in need during the Christmas holiday season, please know that if you are chosen for this program, you won’t need to receive gifts from any other programs.

Applications for our 2024 Angel Tree have now closed. Please check back next year.
