Give a Child a Reason to Smile This Christmas

The holidays are meant to be a time of joy, togetherness, and hope. But for some children, the season can be a harsh reminder of what they don’t have. Imagine being a child surrounded by friends and classmates, all sharing stories about the gifts they opened under the tree, while you quietly sit with nothing to share. It’s heartbreaking—and unfair.

That’s why we’ve launched the Hope for the Holidays Drive through Cross Our Hearts and Select Foundation. Together, we’re working to make sure no child feels forgotten this Christmas.

It’s more than just a toy drive. It’s a movement of kindness, hope, and love. We’re collecting toys to ensure children in need can experience the joy of unwrapping a gift that’s just for them. These aren’t just toys—they’re reminders that someone cares, that they matter, and that they deserve happiness.

Because it could have been you. It could be your child. Life is unpredictable, and sometimes families find themselves in tough spots. You can be the reason a child smiles this Christmas, the reason they feel seen and loved.

Giving isn’t just about the gift—it’s about the message behind it. It says, “You’re not alone. We care.”

1. Donate Toys: Drop off new, unwrapped toys please contact us for details on www.crossourhearts.org
2. Give Online: No time to shop? Donate directly on our website, and we’ll do the rest.
3. Spread the Word: Share our mission with friends, family, and coworkers. The more people know, the more we can do.

Last year, we made an impact—but we can do better. Let’s make 2024 the year we go above and beyond for these kids. Together, we can give them not just toys, but the gift of hope and happiness.

The holidays are about more than gifts. They’re about showing up for one another. They’re about kindness. They’re about love. Let’s come together to remind these children that they’re not forgotten and that there’s still so much good in the world.
