Grant a Holiday Wish!

Holiday Wish allows youth under the care of Franklin County Children Services to request a special toy or gift. Each year, the central Ohio community provides gifts for more than 6,500 children who may have experienced abuse, neglect or other difficult home conditions. In some cases, these are the only gifts that these children will receive all year. You can help make the holidays special.
Here is how Holiday Wish works:
- Each child age 11 and younger selects toys or other gifts valued at $50 from their wish list. (Wish list items should be dropped off at our West Mound Street location by December 8. All other toys can be dropped off through December 24.) Contact Holiday Wish at (614) 275-2525 to sponsor a child.
- Each youth age 12 and older receives a $60 gift card to Target or Walmart.
- Donations of any dollar amount are accepted to help purchase gift cards and food certificates for families. Donations may be tax deductible.
- Donors may sponsor one or more children. They will receive each child's wish list, shop for the toys, wrap each gift separately, and deliver them to Holiday Wish.
- Individuals and groups may also contribute new, unwrapped toys and gifts of their choice and drop them off at Holiday Wish.
- Making a purchase from the Holiday Wish or Black Girl Magic wish lists on Amazon.com.
