Make Foster Kids' Holiday Wishes Come True

This holiday season, 4Kids4Families is excited to launch our Christmas initiative, Christmas4Kids!

Through this initiative, we’re aiming to provide every child in foster care in Region 4 with Christmas gifts that bring them joy and hope during the holiday season.  Every child deserves to wake up to a magical Christmas morning!

How can our community members help? 🤝

  1. Sponsoring a child or children: Community members or groups can choose to purchase gifts directly for a child or children in your  region based on the Wishlist each child has created. Please coordinate with our team directly to receive Wishlist’s.
  2. Donating through our Amazon Wishlist: Children’s wishes who are submitted between the months of November and mid-December      are placed on an Amazon List. Also, purchases from the Amazon Wishlist will cover any last-minute or unmet needs. Click here to view the Amazon wishlist link.
  3. Momentary donation to Christmas4Kids: Alternatively, organizations can make a monetary donation to 4Kids4Families, and our team will purchase gifts on the individual or organization’s behalf. Click here to donate.
  4. Spread the word: Help us get the word out! Share this post so we can reach as many people as possible.

For questions or to donate, please email us at christmas@4kids4families.org.  Together, we can ensure that the spirit of Christmas shines bright for every foster child in our region.

About 4Kids4Families:

As of May 1, 2024, Child Protective Services (CPS) no longer handles foster care management in this region. 4Kids4Families is now the official overseer of foster care services in Region 4, including your county, ensuring that all foster care needs are managed under our guidance.

4Kids4Families, a division of Arrow Child & Family Ministries, serves as the Single Source Continuum Contractor (SSCC) for Region 4 under Tex. Family Code Sec. 264.161. We provide comprehensive foster care services and support to kinship caregivers, ensuring that children and families receive the care they need. For more information, please visit 4Kids4Families.org
