Holiday Drive

2025

Sponsor-A-Family

By sponsoring a family in one of our programs, you can make a direct and meaningful impact. We work with dozens of families to identify their needs and holiday wishes to match them with a generous donor to make this season special. Your support brings joy and relief to our community.

Deadline: Registration is now open! Please sign up to by Dec. 5, 2025 to be matched.

Once you complete the form below, our Development and Communications Associate Alex Medina will reach out to share more details on the program, and your matched family.

We’re collecting toys for children in our youth programs, to be distributed at our end-of-year celebrations. Sponsors are invited to join the event as well. If you're interested, you can drop off gifts at our office, located at 135 N. Mission Road.

Drop-offs are open weekdays, excluding holidays, from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

You can also purchase an item on our Amazon Holiday Gift List to ship to us!

Gift Card Drive

We are in need of 90 $25 gift cards for youth in our IMPACTO after-school program. These gift cards will allow students to choose something meaningful for themselves this holiday season. If you'd like to donate, you can drop off gift cards at our main office. Visa, Amazon, Target, and Walmart gift cards are preferred if possible.

Sponsor-A-Child/Classroom

Children attending our Early Childhood Education Centers and IMPACTO programs share wish lists of gifts that would make their holiday season extra special this year. The average cost to sponsor an individual child is around $75 to 125.

Thanks to your support, we were able to ensure that over 100 students across our programs will receive gifts this holiday season!

Turkey Drive

This year, we were able to distribute over 200 turkeys to families in Boyle Heights. Each turkey helps ensure that local families can enjoy a complete holiday meal. We are deeply grateful to our Turkey Drive sponsors for providing not only nourishment but also comfort and a sense of community this season!
