Agency: San Diego Coalition for the Homeless

Description:

Each year, we host a party "Holiday Magic for Kids" for homeless and low-income children that draws thousands each year. We are in the process of collecting toys and non-perishable food donations.

Community Impact: This event is a huge blessing to many families and children who otherwise will receive no gifts or entertainment during the holidays. It brings a smile to many faces!

Holiday Wish List:

1. 4000 candy canes
2. Wrapping materials, scissors, tape, stickers to mark presents
3. Each gift needs ID (B-6 for Boy, 6 years old; G-12 for Girl, 12 years old)
4. New toys for children ages 0-12
5. Bottled water or snacks for volunteers
6. Non-perishable food items for the homeless
7. Turkeys and/or ham! We need a turkey or ham to give every family!

Latest date donations can be accepted: Thursday, December 17 between 10AM to 5PM
