Holiday Heroes Gift Drive for Youth in Foster Care
October 11, 2019 - December 25, 2019
KVC’s Holiday Heroes Program is a way for individuals, families and businesses to work together to make the holidays brighter for children and teens involved in the child welfare system. As a Holiday Hero, you are making a commitment to give them the gifts they have their hearts set on.
Our team is collecting presents, gift cards and monetary donations to make sure children who are in foster care, have safely reunited with their family or have been adopted have a happy holiday. Without your giving, these youth may not have the holiday season they are hoping for.
To become a Holiday Hero, click the button below, or contact Kristi Ferrell at (304) 687-3851 or krferrell@kvc.org. We know the holidays are a busy time, so if you don’t have time to shop, please consider helping by making an online donation. Thank you!
