🎁 What Does Sponsoring a Child Involve?

When you select a child to sponsor, we ask that you:

1

Purchase 1–3 Gifts

Choose gifts from your sponsored child’s Christmas wishes.

2

Purchase a Giant Stocking

Select a giant Christmas stocking large enough to hold your gifts. These can be purchased online.

3

Save Your Child’s ID

Record your child’s unique ID number and include it with your gifts.

4

Deliver Your Gifts

Drop off or ship your gifts using the information below.

Important: Please include your sponsored child’s ID number with every donation or package so we can match gifts to the correct child.
