Kids to Love is fulfilling Christmas wishes for more than 1,500 children living in foster care in north Alabama and south-central Tennessee.
· The youth range in age from newborn to 20-years-old.
· This year Kids to Love launched The Great Toy Challenge with a goal to collect 100,000 toys and gifts.
One way Kids to Love has made it easy to participate – and safe in the middle of COVID – is through the “Click, Ship & Give” campaign. There’s a link on the Kids to Love website that will connect you to the Amazon store, which includes a long list of the most requested items on wish lists. Click to place an item in your cart, Amazon will ship it to Kids to Love, and you will give a foster child a wonderful gift on Christmas morning.
* Please make sure any items you donate are new and turn them in unwrapped *
The greatest needs are for teenager items, including clothes!
