1,000 Gifts Still Needed for Children Facing Homelessness

|

No child should go without presents this holiday season. Will you join in the holiday magic and help provide new gifts for kids of all ages?

It’s time again for the annual Wellspring Giving Together Gift Drive for children and teens facing or experiencing homelessness. The gift drive runs through December 20, and we are so grateful to all who have donated already.

To date, we have received over 700 gifts that are headed to local children in our communities. We still have a way to go with more than 1,000 gift requests for children and teens left to be fulfilled. Together, we’d love to provide at least two gifts for each child.

We appreciate all the thoughtful gifts that have been donated so far!  Here are a few ideas for items that are frequently requested during our gift drive:

Infants and Toddlers (ages 0-3):

Interactive baby toys (make sound/light up)
Teething toys
Popular character toys (e.g. Mickey Mouse, Paw Patrol, Pokémon, Spiderman, etc.)
Multi-cultural/BIPOC dolls
Soft learning toys
Building Blocks and Lego 

 

Teens (13-17): 

Art Supplies (drawing, painting, and sketching)
Makeup/beauty products
Fashion accessories (purses, jewelry, hair clips, etc.)
Sports equipment
Hats/beanies
Blankets
Gift cards

Thank you to our wonderful community. Together we can make a positive impact on families and children this year.
