Our Goal

The goal of Christmas4Kids is to create a magical holiday season for the foster children in our region by making sure each child’s Christmas wish comes true. Through the combined efforts of Magic Makers and community partners, we will ensure that every child in foster care in Region 4 receives the love, joy, and holiday spirit they deserve.

We hope you will join us in this meaningful effort. Your participation as a Magic Maker will make a lasting impact on the lives of children in foster care, helping them experience the warmth and joy of Christmas. If you are interested in partnering with us, please reach out to us at christmas@4kids4families.org specifying how you would like to be involved.

Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to partnering with you to make this holiday season unforgettable for the children in our care.

How Christmas4Kids Works

Wish List Compilation

Christmas4Kids will compile all foster children’s wish lists across Region 4. Each child will be assigned a unique code to maintain anonymity.  

Privacy is Key

No names of children will ever be shared with our Magic Makers. Only codes will be provided to ensure the privacy of the children in foster care.

Gift Distribution

After the gifts are submitted to 4Kids4Families, we will sort and distribute them to caseworkers for delivery to the children by Christmas.

Role of Magic Makers

As a Magic Maker, you will support Christmas4Kids in ensuring that no child’s Christmas wish goes unfulfilled. Here are ways you can contribute:

Amazon Wishlist: You can purchase gifts from our Christmas4Kids Amazon Wishlist, which will cover any last-minute or unmet needs.

Support for Late Additions: Children who are added to the program after the submission deadline need gifts, too! Magic Makers can either purchase gifts for these children or make a monetary donation to cover their wish lists.

Gift a Child: You can commit to providing gifts for a certain number of children by either purchasing the gifts directly or donating funds to cover their wish lists.
