Tips & Advice
- Sponsor registration opens October 24, 2026, so have your sponsorship form ready to return in person, by mail, by email or over the phone.
- Families applying for help should gather proof of residence, a photo ID, and each child's Social Security card or school enrollment proof before requesting an application.
- Return the completed application with every required document, because enrollment is only confirmed by email from the Christmas Coordinators once everything is in.
- Sponsors can add warm clothing or fresh food for a Christmas dinner alongside the toys, since both are always needed by the families.
- If you can't sponsor a whole family, drop new toys, games or gift cards for kids up to 17 at the donation center, or volunteer to wrap gifts.
