The Power of Giving Back
Giving Children Hope
We Are Giving Children Hope: Helping families break out of the cycle of need into lives of self-sufficiency and success!
"Whether you're donating by volunteering your time or contributing funds towards our mission, it's making a difference." - CEO of Giving Children Hope, Pete Bowen
Tis the season of giving, and at Giving Children Hope's campus in Buena Park, California, the spirit of generosity shone brightly during our annual Christmas Gift Wrapping Party. This special event, held in collaboration with our We've Got Your Back program, brought together local partners, generous donors, enthusiastic volunteers, and the incredible children we are honored to serve. Throughout the month of December, the GCH staff and a dedicated community joined hands to create a festive atmosphere filled with love and joy. From the rustling of wrapping paper to the laughter of children, the spirit of the season was truly alive at Giving Children Hope. Join us as we unwrap the heartwarming moments and shared smiles that made this event an unforgettable celebration of compassion and community.
Thanks to individual sponsors, business partners, and community support, we anticipate delivering 2,080 Christmas gifts. Our Gift Wrapping initiative provided joy to 68 schools, benefiting children in the We’ve Got Your Pack food program.
At Giving Children Hope, we believe in the extraordinary impact that comes from the collective efforts of our dedicated volunteers and generous donors. The Gift Wrapping Party not only adorned presents with festive paper but also highlighted the incredible power of community engagement. Their selfless dedication showcases the transformative influence that a few hours of volunteering can have on the lives of those in need. Likewise, the unwavering support of our donors provided the resources needed to create moments of magic and happiness for the children we serve.
"Being part of the Christmas Gift Wrapping parties at Giving Children Hope is like joining a festive family reunion. Volunteering not only spreads holiday cheer to those in need but also creates a warm and spirited atmosphere on our Giving Children Hope campus." - Director of Advancement for Giving Children Hope, Chelsea Bergfeld
Families We Support
With every donation, they became architects of hope, helping us build a foundation of support and compassion. Together, our volunteers and donors embody the true spirit of the season, proving that small acts of kindness can ripple into a wave of positive change. Thank you for being the driving force behind the magic that transforms lives and brings joy to those who need it most.
Our We've Got Your Back program, made possible by the generosity of individual sponsors, business partners, and community members, is delivering joy to families in need this holiday season. Through thoughtful gift wrapping, each present embodies care and compassion, bringing smiles to the faces of those we support. These gifts not only capture the festive spirit but also signify our collective commitment to providing hope and support to every family we serve. Together, as a united community, we celebrate the joy of giving and brighten the Christmas celebrations for those facing challenges
"The Gift-Wrapping Parties are so much fun and filled with great energy. I think it makes a positive impact on the community, both for the students enrolled in our program and the volunteers and donors that make it possible." - Advancement Coordinator of Giving Children Hope, Lindsey Parodi
How to Support
Now, more than ever, it is crucial to expand our programs, ensuring that food-insecure families receive the nutrition they need to thrive at home and school. For $25/month, you can join a community focused on helping children and families break out of a need cycle and into lives of self-sufficiency and success. This monthly giving program ensures no child goes hungry and food is provided weekly to a child in need.
