Child & Family's 2025 Holiday Giving Program
Thank you for your interest in Child & Family’s 2025 Holiday Giving Program. Your support and dedication to our mission is truly appreciated.
On behalf of Child & Family, we invite generous individuals like you – along with your family, friends, and colleagues – to join this season’s Holiday Giving Program. We collect toys, gifts, and clothing for children in need, as well as basic needs such as gift cards, hats and mittens, socks and pajamas. Thank you for helping us make the holidays brighter for those we serve!
We will continue to add family profiles, so if you don’t see one that is a good fit, please check back frequently.
If you or your company are hosting a toy drive on behalf of Child & Family, please contact us so we can coordinate the drop-off to ensure we can distribute all donations in a timely manner. This season, we are looking to expand our distribution to our teenagers and young adults. Please see the list below for suggestions.
We have also created an Amazon wish list with suggestions for gifts for the older youth in our programs. Items purchased will be shipped directly to Child & Family. The list can be viewed here https://a.co/j6b6D1d .
Holiday Giving kicks off Wednesday, November 19, 2025.
You can participate in the following ways:

Adopt-A-Family with children’s specific wish lists:
This year, we are using the Roonga platform to simplify the process. Click on the button below to Child & Family’s Adopt-A-Family Holiday Program, register, and choose your wish lists for children and families in need. If the button above does not work, copy and paste this address into your browser www.roonga.com/childandfamilyriholidaygiving202538
Roonga will provide you with a child’s gender, age, clothing size, and a wish list for each child in the family/families you choose. Next, shop for the children you select. Please provide 3 to 7 gifts per child, along with a Walmart, Aldi, or grocery store gift card for the adult(s) to purchase holiday food and other gifts.
Please remember to register as a donor first and then let the shopping begin as we enter the season of giving!
When you choose the wish list(s), Roonga will provide full instructions. Please be sure to read the Purchasing Guidelines and Drop-Off Details.
