Holiday Giving 2023

Holiday Giving 2025 Is Here!

It’s that special time of year again — a time to share hope, kindness, and a little extra joy. This season, 38 teens and 28 families from our District 196 community have been nominated for our Holiday Giving Program.

You can read the stories of our nominated families and teens and sign up to help by clicking the link below.
The deadline for dropping off donations is Thursday, December 4. Drop-off locations are listed on the sign-up page.

Each family and teen was nominated by a caring advocate, often a school counselor — and most don’t even know they’ve been chosen! Your gift becomes a true surprise and a moment of hope.

Families will receive bins filled with essentials and gift cards, while teens get gift baskets made just for them.

Let’s come together to make the holidays brighter for our neighbors.
