Fostering Christmas

Saving Christmas for the Kids Who Need it Most

Since 2014, our community has helped local children in foster care wake up to Christmas morning joy. Sponsor a child’s wish list—or donate—either way, you’ll make a real difference.

Since 2014 100% of donations go to gifts Canyon & Ada Counties

What Is Fostering Christmas?

Children in the foster care system already go without so much: a stable home, parents who can support them, and even a life with their siblings. They shouldn’t have to go without Christmas, too. 

Yet many do. Here in Idaho, foster kids who enter the system after Thanksgiving don’t get presents for Christmas. Foster parents do what they can, but the state just can’t meet the demand.  

But we can — if you’re willing to join us.
