Calling All Holiday Elves...
It's that time of year again! We're putting on our Santa caps and looking for volunteers to help make the holidays brighter for children with special needs in San Diego. Last year we helped more than 30 children and their families. We are hoping to spread cheer to low income families in San Diego that need our help! If we can find five sponsors we will select more families and continue until the week before Christmas! Ho Ho Ho!
How can you help?
Adopt a family or help contribute to a gift basket! We're accepting donations of gift cards (Walmart, Target, Vons, Toys R Us), toys, clothes, books, and Christmas items. If you can help, please email us at [email protected].
Waiting List
Great news! Everyone was adopted this year... but if you want to help there is still time. We know there are more families that need our help and we can get more nominations from the agencies we support.
Our goal is to support as many families as possible by Dec. 18th! Please note the items listed next to each family is just a wish list. These families would be happy with anything. Many Thanks - Cecily's Closet!
