Brighter Holidays 2024
Hello Friends,
Happy Fall! It’s almost the holiday season and for many of us that is a time for warm family gatherings, gift-giving, and feelings of joy. Every child deserves to experience this joy, especially those who are placed in the foster care system. Please join Turning Points for Children in our commitment to share warmth and joy this holiday season by helping us provide a special gift to every child and teen under our care.
Ways you can make holidays brighter for children in care:
Donate to our virtual gift-giving campaign and help us raise $20,000 so to purchase a quality gift for every child and teen under our care! Donations can be made by following the link here.
$50 – buys toys for two children.
$75 – provides baby toys and clothes for a parenting teen in our ELECT program.
$100 – provides gifts for a family of 3 in foster care.
$250 – provides new electronics for 2 older youth in our LifeSet program.
Help us get every child a gift here.
Spread the word by following our updates on social media (handles below) and telling your friends and family about how they can make the holidays special for children and teens in care.
Drop-off gifts. You are more than welcome to drop-off or ship gifts to our main office. We are aiming to have toys dropped off by Wednesday, December 11th or reach out to me to logistics. If you need any inspiration, feel free to take a look at our Walmart online wish-list and our recommended gift list and book list, which are linked! And lastly, if you wrap gifts, please be sure to put a label on it that details what the gift is. This makes it easier for our families to pick out presents that their children would enjoy.
Feel free to send any gifts to our offices or reach out and we can discuss a plan for drop-off:
