With your help, the holiday season was brighter for young people facing homelessness and other challenges. Caring organizations and individuals like you gave Gifts of Hope to nearly 500 youth! Thanks to the generosity of our community, we raised more than $12,000 to ensure every wish list was filled.
Organizations like QuikTrip, Global Holdings, Mix96.5, ONEGas, Apex Title and Closing Services, Darby Equipment, Fellowship Congregational Church UCC, and New Haven United Methodist Church came through in big ways by adopting multiple youth, providing delicious meals, and donating other special gifts for our young people.
Last but not least, Gifts of Hope would not be possible without the helping hands of caring volunteers like those from John A. Marshall, Johnson Rouse & Associates, and all the individuals who generously donated their time.
Thank you for filling our youths’ hearts with joy and hope!
Isn’t it amazing how the kindness of communities can bring about real change? When I read about incredible groups coming together for the Gifts of Hope, I remembered a moment when my friends and I collected school supplies for youth shelters one summer. Similar to the energy of Friday Night Funkin, every little bit of help added up into something powerful. Collaboration can truly light up someone’s world.
Last holiday season, I volunteered with a local group that supports homeless youth, and it was truly heartwarming to see how small acts of kindness can make a big difference. Helping to collect and distribute gifts reminded me of the power of community and the joy it brings to those in need. Experiences like these inspire me to keep giving back whenever I can. For a fun way to unwind after volunteering, I often enjoy playing Block Blast - it's a great way to relax and entertain yourself after a fulfilling day.
