Each wish list includes up to five items totaling approximately $150, and there are several ways to participate:
- Sponsor one item: Every gift makes a difference!
- Sponsor multiple items: Purchase a few gifts from one list or items from several lists.
- Sponsor a full wish list: Purchase all five items to help fulfill a child’s Christmas wishes.
Our STAY Together families are especially in need of sponsors, as many are navigating financial hardships while working toward greater family stability.
