Bringing Christmas Magic to children in Region 4


Together, we ensure every child in foster care experiences the joy of the holiday season with thoughtfully chosen gifts.


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.
