Give a Child Christmas This Year
Every child deserves to experience the joy of Christmas morning.
Through I Love To Help, your generosity connects with families who otherwise cannot afford gifts—bringing hope, dignity, and Christmas magic to children across our communities. In partnership with the Center for Fathers and Families, we’re strengthening families one Christmas at a time.
Some of the Families Who Need Us This Year
There's Michael, a father who shares custody of three daughters with their mother. He describes her as "...such a good person. She does everything she can, but our financial hardship makes the holidays extra tough. If someone could help to make our kids happy this year, that would also make her happy.”
His hope is simple: to see his children feel joy and lift the burden the mother carries this year.

Christmas Happens

This Christmas, your generosity can ensure a child in need receives the joy of a gift.
Last Christmas changed everything for us. I was going through a hard time—trying to be the father my kids deserved but struggling to make ends meet. When Christmas morning came and my children had gifts under the tree, their faces lit up. But more than that, it showed them that our community cares. The Center for Fathers and Families helped me get back on my feet, and I Love To Help made sure my kids had a Christmas. Now, a year later, I’m doing better, and I’ll never forget what that meant to our family.
—Marcus, father of three
Stories like Marcus’s are why we do this work—not just to provide gifts, but to restore dignity, strengthen families, and remind every child they are valued.
