Holiday Boxes

At We Are Loved, our Holiday Boxes aim to bridge the gap between past traditions and new beginnings for children in foster care. By providing them with essential items and facilitating the creation of new memories, we hope to instill a sense of belonging and joy during the holiday season. We strive to teach children that family traditions are not confined to a single household but can be embraced and reshaped.

In 2019 We Are Loved began our Holiday Box program which served two counties and gave out 250 boxes. In 2022 our program grew, and we gave out 525 boxes in six counties. 2023 we are hoping to continue to expand our program to an additional county and give out over 600 boxes.

Join us this holiday season in supporting these incredible children by contributing to our Holiday Boxes initiative. Together, we can create a sense of love, warmth, and tradition for children in foster care, making their journey a little brighter and their memories a little sweeter this holiday season.

What goes in a box?

The cost per averages $35.00 not including the gift card for the teens. Our Holiday Boxes are filled with new pajamas, slipper socks, a cozy blanket, a warm mug, hot chocolate mix, cookie mix, crafts, and a book to children in need. For foster teens, we also include a gift card to help make their holiday season a little brighter. Each box is personalized with the child's name, making them feel special and valued during a time that can be challenging for many families. The benefits of our program include:

1. Providing comfort and warmth: New pajamas, slipper socks, and a cozy blanket help ensure children stay warm and comfortable during the cold winter months.

2. Creating a sense of normalcy: By receiving a special gift during the holiday season, children who may not have the same experiences as their peers are able to feel included and experience a sense of normalcy.

3. Fostering a love for reading: Our program provides children with a book, helping to promote a love for reading and learning.

4. Encouraging creativity: The craft included in each box encourages children to use their imagination and creativity to create something special.

5. Promoting quality time: The hot chocolate mix and cookie mix provide an opportunity for families and children to spend quality time together, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
