The cost per box averages $40.00, 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.
