Holiday Wish Drive

Give joy by providing the exact Holiday wish of a child, adult, or senior in need. It may not seem like much, but for someone who may not otherwise receive a gift, it’s everything.

Spreading Hope and Joy in the San Francisco Bay Area

"This year my family and I have overcome separation and have achieved family reunification. I got my kids back! I graduated and I got stable housing. The gifts mean a lot so that the kiddos have a few presents for this Holiday. The gifts are especially important this holiday season because I am getting back on my feet and don't have any funds to buy them gifts, on top of paying rent and utilities."
- Holiday Wish Drive Recipient
"One student was not coming to school because their father couldn't buy him a backpack, school supplies, and uniforms... Once we provided the resources to this student, he has been attending our school daily."
-Oakland School Representative

Jenn's Question

In 1990, I had a question: What would the world look like if everyone was lucky enough to experience even just one moment of pure joy?

The Cabbage Patch Riots of 1983

In the early 1980s, a seemingly innocent toy craze took the world by storm, causing chaos and unexpected violence in what became known as the Cabbage Patch Riots of 1983.
