Because We All Have Gifts To Give
Young people, from all backgrounds, learn, experience and come to understand

the power of giving and service through their doing actual work.

We call it Tangible Philanthropy and Big Citizenship.

Quick Info

BECOME A VOLUNTEER
Every year, thousands of volunteers process donated children’s items to create individual gift packages which are then gifted to local children-in-need.  With over 70,000 local children living in poverty the need is overwhelming and our volunteers are a critical component to helping these children.
