Holiday Wishes
There are over 6,000 foster children in the Tampa Bay area who will not be spending the holidays with their parents. Although we cannot change that fact, we hope to make their season brighter by fulfilling some of their wishes....
Ways You Can Help:
- Your company, social or civic organization can hold a gift drive
- You or your group can host a "Giving Tree" with specific children and family wishes on each ornament
- You or your group can sponsor one or more children or families
Please call or email us to let us know if you plan to hold a gift drive -- we will send you details to share with your group. Also, we need to know so we can schedule volunteers appropriately for pick-ups and drop offs.
Don't have time to shop? We have volunteers ready to shop for you!
Please consider a monetary gift, and we will promise to make a foster child's holiday bright!
