Please follow these guidelines to help us build a holiday season full of magic.

• Shiny and New – For Christmas presents especially, we are accepting donations of new and unused items. We are happy to accept donations of gently used items at other times of the year.
• Made With Love – We also accept donations of handmade items like hats and scarves. About 100 young people ages 16-22 will spend Christmas with us, so please make as many as you can!
• Skip the Gift Wrap – Our staff want to give your gift to the young person who will appreciate it the most. To do so, we need to see what it is – please bring presents in unwrapped. We hate to spoil a beautiful present, but we must open any presents that arrive wrapped, even if labeled. Plus, it’s one of our favorite things to do!
• Our youth are ages 16-22 – Please be sure to shop for teenagers ages 16-22. While we occasionally serve small children ages 5 and under, we receive far more gifts and toys for them than we will ever use. Thank you in advance for donating presents for teenagers!
• Gift cards are great – Occasionally, we do have youth that prefer to receive gift cards so they can find something super unique. Gift cards in denominations of $10, $25, or $50 help us do so for as many youth as we can.

Unsure what to give? Your cash donation will help us fill in gaps to ensure that our young people have a Christmas full of joy.
