62,000 Childrens' Wishes Granted in 2010!

 

In a world that is becoming increasingly anonymous, our Holiday Wish Drive offers a way to directly touch a child's life. We work with more than 250 Bay Area social service agencies that supply us with the names and wishes of the children they serve year-round. A wish card is printed for each child, detailing their age, gender, first name and their wish for a holiday gift.

Over 900 Bay Area companies, schools and organizations participate in the program by displaying the wish cards, often on trees, in their lobbies and other public areas. It is the generosity of employees, customers and students that makes this program a success. By selecting a wish card, they pledge to purchase a special gift for a child in need.

Learn more about what it means to host a drive here.

Social service agencies or any individuals seeking assistance from the Family Giving Tree should check out our Agencies page before contacting our office.
