2024 Holiday Hope Project
For over 25+ years, thousands of children and families have seen their holiday
wishes come true because of the generosity of people like you.
Holiday Hope matches sponsors with Child & Family’s clients who are burdened with financial
worries, illnesses, mental and physical disabilities, limited education and resources,
and personal tragedies which have left them unable to provide for themselves or
their families.
Get Involved
Child & Family Services, Inc. invites you to share the joy of the upcoming holiday season by participating in our 2024 Holiday Hope Project
There are many ways for you to support Holiday Hope - sponsor a family or an individual, or donate to our project - your help will guarantee to brighten the holidays for someone in need!
Please share your holiday spirit and give the most vulnerable members of our community the greatest gift of all—HOPE.
Guidelines for Shopping
When shopping for families to donate to, focus on buying essential items like food, clothing, and hygiene products that are versatile and suitable for various ages. It's important to consider the specific needs of the families, such as seasonal clothing or baby supplies, and to prioritize quality over quantity to ensure the donations are both useful and durable. Additionally, avoid purchasing any perishable items.
Drop Off
Tuesday, December 10, 2024. Further information regarding drop off times/location will come with your sponsor sheet
Gift Wrapping
Please be sure to wrap all gifts and label them with names and the family's HHP number
Food Cards (do not send food items)
This year, we're requesting food cards for families to purchase their preferred food. Please consider the family's size when buying cards. Place food cards in a separate envelope labeled with the family's HHP number.
Family Time
Keeping families active and together is key. Gift certificates to family restaurants and video stores, movie tickets, tickets to shows and events, and disposable cameras for memories help accomplish this goal.
Household
Bath towels, kitchen towels, dishes, pots and pans, and cooking utensils are helpful.
Warmth
Pajamas, blankets, coats, hats, gloves, socks, and scarves are great for all ages and are greatly needed.
Hygiene
Personal hygiene items are useful and thoughtful. These include toothbrushes, toothpaste, soaps, shampoos, hairbrushes, and gift certificates to stores where undergarments could be purchased.
Education
Books, puzzles, writing supplies, arts and crafts, and learning games are great.
