Helping families across Tampa Bay.
Turning donations into toys, bicycles, holiday gifts, and household goods for Tampa Bay families. With your help, we can reach more families this year.
Our mission
We give back to our community in the most direct way we can. Every dollar you give becomes an item bought to fill a need for an organization or family. We do the rest so you can be confident your gift goes straight to the people who need it most.

More than a holiday effort
Families need support throughout the year.
The holidays are an important part of what we do, but the need does not disappear in January. Families may need clothing, bedding, home essentials, groceries, or other practical items after an unexpected hardship.
As our relationships in the community have grown, so has our understanding of those year-round needs. We want to be ready to help when local organizations identify a family who could use support.
