Holiday Drive

The Spirit of Giving Holiday Drive by Children’s Friend, a tradition for over 30 years, reached more than 1,060 families and 2,500 children in 2023,
providing them with clothing and toys. This initiative stands out for its personalized support, ensuring gifts meet the specific needs of those served, and
extends its care beyond the holiday season.

A family where the mother is struggling to provide her children with essentials such as food and clothing. A family of four where both parents are work-
ing, but with the ever-increasing cost of living, they are barely getting by. A family of three where the mother has significant health issues and medical
bills are piling up. These families, and many more, benefited from the overwhelming generosity of our Spirit of Giving Holiday Drive donors. A heartfelt
thank you to all supporters who embody the true spirit of giving and strengthening our community.
