Current Agencies
We work with over 250 social service agencies and schools in the Bay Area. These include homeless shelters, community centers, rehabilitation houses, schools and other various non-profit organizations. The organizations supply us with the names and wishes of the children they serve year-round. These are real children with real wishes, who would otherwise go without during the holidays and back-to-school time. A wish card is printed for each child detailing their age, gender, first name and their wish. Check out our list of currently registered agencies.

Resources for agencies looking for help
The Family Giving Tree's target is to reach very low income children who do not receive holiday gift or backpack assistance through other programs. If you feel that your organization can help us reach our goal, we invite you to contact us. Please read our application requirements and Agency FAQs before submitting any information. Agencies participating in our Holiday Wish Program must sign the Terms and Conditions before registering.
