Christmas Help for Needy Families

Christmas Help for Needy Families

Christmas help for needy families, holiday help for low-income families, Christmas help, Holiday Assistance, Help With Toys for Christmas, Holiday Help, whatever you name it, it’s on the page. Whether you need help with food for Thanksgiving or gifts for Christmas.  I have taken my time to make a list of different ways you find help for the holidays. Enjoy and I wish you luck in finding the help you need.

Also, check out these lists I created to help you earn cash for the holidays: 

Many people are in great need during this time of year. So it’s important when signing up to agencies for help that you truly need it. Most places work on a first come first serve basis. So be sure to sign up as early as possible this way the agency will not run out of toys or food baskets before they get to your family. If you are fortunate enough that you don’t need help this holiday season. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to one of the organizations below.

NOTE:
I do not donate gifts to families. I have offered my time to find the resources listed below and update regularly as I find more.

Call Your Child’s School

One of the first and best places to start is your child’s school. If you don’t have children in school skip this paragraph and continue below. For those of you with children in school start by calling the school social worker, school psychologist, or guidance counselor. Tell them your situation, and ask if they can help or have information on how to find help for Thanksgiving and Christmas in your area. If they don’t they will point you in the right direction. Schools are very giving during the holidays, and tend to have additional resources for school supplies, clothes, help with electric bills, etc all year round. You just have to ask to find out what your school can help with. They are not just going to offer. Most importantly, don’t wait until the last minute.

Call Local Food Banks

Most food banks and pantries have resources for Thanksgiving and Christmas. In the past, I was able to receive a nice Thanksgiving and Christmas basket from a local pantry. Head on over here to find your local food banks or pantries in your area feedingamerica.org/foodbanks and you can also try FoodPantries.org.  If you have any trouble finding what you’re looking for remember you can always call your local Charities, Civic Organizations, Human Services, or D.S.S for information in your area.

Contact Local Charities

Also, contact your local charities and civic organizations to find out about all programs for the needy during Thanksgiving and Christmas time and all year round.

Churches

Ask your own church, call, and speak with the pastor about receiving assistance for your family or another needy family you may know. If your church is already collecting food items and toys for Christmas and Thanksgiving for the needy, ask if you qualify to be a receiver. If you don’t go to church that’s fine too, you are still welcome to contact any of your local churches and inquire about their programs if any and apply.

Call a Local TV or Radio Station

Call a local TV or Radio station and ask if they know of any programs helping families for Thanksgiving and Christmas if they themselves can not help you they will know who you can call.

Christmas Angel Tree -Salvation Army

Christmas Angel Tree is a program sponsored by The Salvation Army. Have you ever gone into Walmart or the Mall and seen the little trees with tags on them that have children’s ages and gender written on them? Well, that’s part of their program. To get your child’s name on a tree you must register to receive Christmas toys through your local Department of social services or call your local Salvation Army to find out where you can apply for it. Most of the time it’s through Salvation Army.

They will require some simple information from you to determine whether you are really in need of the services. Find your local Salvation Army and their contact info salvationarmyusa.org/usn just add your zip code to the top right corner. If you’re having trouble finding yours you can also just look them up in your phone book or call information. Please call right away some places sign-ups have already begun.
Family Christmas Online
Family Christmas Online was formed to help your family to have a joyful and meaningful Christmas, even if your life is going in thirty different directions. Check it out here at  www.familychristmasonline.com.
Lion’s Club
Lion’s Club also helps with Christmas gifts. Simply contact your local Lions Club branch.  But please make sure you do this within 1-2 months in advance of Christmas to request assistance. Assistance is provided on a first-come-first-serve basis and is limited to member donations and available volunteers. Click here to find a local Lions Club https://directory.lionsclubs.org/.

Toys For Tots

The US Marines sponsors, Toys for Tots, each year and collect and donate toys to children of families in need. Toys you receive from Toys For Tots are new and unwrapped. To sign up for your children and request Christmas toys from Toys For Tots just contact your local Department of Social Services or Human Services, 2-1-1, or Catholic Charities for information on where they will be holding the event in your town and when.

Again if you’re having any trouble please call your local Charities, Civic Organizations, Human Services, or D.S.S for information in your area. Request a Toy. You can also donate toys here.

The Angel Tree – Prison Fellowship Program

Angel Tree works by connecting parents in prison with their children through the delivery of Christmas gifts. In most cases, local church volunteers purchase and deliver gifts and the Gospel to children in the name of their prisoner parent. 1-877-478-0100 angeltree.org/angeltreehome

Family Giving Tree

Their Holiday Wish Drive offers a way to directly touch a child’s life. They work with more than 250 Bay Area, California social service agencies that supply them with the names and wishes of the children they serve year-round. A wish card is printed for each child, detailing their age, gender, first name, and their wish for a holiday gift. Over 900 Bay Area, California companies, schools, and organizations participate in the program by displaying the wish cards, often on trees, in their lobbies, and other public areas. It is the generosity of employees, customers, and students that makes this program a success. They do not work with individuals, but with Social Service Agencies located in northern California, seeking assistance from the Family Giving Tree. So please check with your local Social Services office to ask for more information. Check out their “Who we Help” page before contacting their office. Head on over here for that information http://www.familygivingtree.org

    I know it’s late to try an get christmas help, but this is the only way i feel i wil get help. I have a 18 yr old daughter, 5 yr old daghter, and a 2yr old son. That i cannot provide christmas for, along with my wife. I fell on hard times do to my truck transmission going out. I bought another truck after scrapping the last one and used the money to buy a used truck and now the transmission is gone out on it. I can’t afford christmas, because all the money i had was spent on bills and rent. We are not able to buy christmas dinner or gifts. If there’s any help that i can get will be truly a blessing for me and my family.

  2. Hello my name is Rotatia. I’ve recently lost my job, and have to tell my 16 year old daughter that mommy can’t afford Christmas this year. I’ve had to move in with my mom & sister. My sister has also lost her job, and my mom only gets retirement income. It’s not enough for four people. We are now down to one transportation due to the fact that my truck has died, and my sister was in an auto accident that totaled her car. My daughter is growing out of her clothes and shoes. I just wish I could put a few things under the tree with her name on them, even though she’s not expecting anything cause she’s well aware of our current situation. Just don’t know with it being so late in the month, what help is out there. Was told you have to apply months in advance for programs. And I really wish I could get my truck up and running. Some prayers please and thank you 🙂

  6. Hi, I lost my job a few weeks ago and have had no luck finding another so far. I have a 14 year old daughter, a 7 yr old son, and a newborn baby girl. I have always made sure my baby’s had a great Christmas but this year I am not going to be able to provide anything. I never expected to loss my job or not be able to find another one, or I would’ve reached out to agencies in the area to help. But now it’s just a week before Christmas and I don’t know what I am going to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Merry Christmas and Thank you

  9. Michelle J Francis says

    Hello. My husband and I are both disabled and his disability check is our sole source of income. We both were once hardworking individuals who were proud to be working, but our health statuses have become overwhelming. I myself have a pending disability claim for which I am awaiting a hearing. There is a child support deduction from my husband’s SSD check which is paid to his ex wife. This leaves us a small amount to maintain with each month. Our youngest daughter has asked for a keyboard which we desire to see her have, but cannot afford at this point. She is 14, a gifted singer and writes songs. We also have five grandchildren whom we would love to buy gifts for as well but we can’t. My husband is in and out of the hospital due to complications from diabetes and though I love my husband dearly, this can be overwhelming too at times. We are very grateful people and any generosity at this point in our lives will be deeply appreciated. God bless you all and Happy Holidays!

    Hi, My family and I are going through a hardship right now that we are desperately trying to over-come, it couldn’t come at a worse time (Christmas) My 3 children I am afraid won’t have a Christmas this year. I have 2 girls 15 and 11 and a 4yr old little boy. My mother was just released from ICU after being on life support and almost dying for the past 2 months. She is now living with me… on top of My home I had for the past 8yrs being condemned Nov. 10th and had to move immediately forcing us to go in to a hotel home. I did not have a phone for the month of Nov. or I would have ask sooner, on top of being back and fourth to hospitals visiting and helping my mother that I was very afraid of losing whom is still terminally sick. My biggest wish is that my kids have some kind of Christmas this year. If there are any resources that anyone knows that can help please feel free to contact me, any help would be very apperceive. Thank you.

  14. I am a single mother of two wonderful boys. I resently moved to Oklahoma to be closer to my parents who have failing health. I am also disabled due to physical abuse from the father of my children. I haven’t been able to provide Christmas for my children this year due to our move being so costly. Though my children are understanding of financial difficulties. They shouldn’t have to pay for me choosing family over financial comfort. I would still like them to have a merry Christmas and to see their faces light up as they open presents Christmas morning. Any and all help would be a blessing. I would be very appreciative.

  15. Eddie Parr Jr says

    Hello, I am disabled and struggling to make ends meet. I can to work due to a severe spinal injury and severe spinal damage.

I am asking for help of any type in order that my 10 year old son can at least have something for Christmas. Any help will be appreciated.

  32. My husband was a hard worker he worked in the coal mines 24 years but had to retire due to illness then one day you receive a letter from the UMWA explaining that as of Dec 31 2016 you will no longer have health insurance or a pension the American dream nightmare, you call and ask of you are can sign your 2 grandsons who you have custody of on one of the Christmas charities, and find that the cut off age is 13 well my grandsons are 13 and 14 and you do the right thing and do your best to make sure that you are going to be able to survive the loss of income shock so you do not buy christmas gifts instead you make sure you will be able to pay your taxes come April, so we do not become homeless in the near future you get out of debt as well as you can so you spend every penny paying off little bills that will cause grief in the coming months ,I would like to thank Mitch McConnell for all his efforts in blocking any hope that the sick and disabled coal miners had in living the American dream our was just a little dream basic survival.

  52. I thank this is a wonderful site I’m a single mother of 9 children whom my mother adopted she was married to a man whom made her a very happy woman he was an Retired Sgt. Major of 30 years in the US Army the only man my children and I have ever known had a massive heart attack and we buried him Dec. 5 my children are very sad and hurt by this tragedy and we ask you for prayer and Blessings God Bless

  53. I am a mother of 5 whose baby boy past away on September 3 2015 and my life came crashing down so badly. Than my baby girl turned 2 on 10/16 and my son turned 9 on 12/3 and my other daughter will be 6 today 12/13 and I was and am unable to do anything for their birthdays. I also have a 4 yr old son who has autism and he is so wonderful but I cannot afford to provide Christmas for them because we are close to being evicted and I get no child support or help fromantic social services and every dollar I get has to go to rent. They are so understanding I told them I promised I would do better next year and and my oldest 2 told me everything is going to be okay. I’m not asking for much just for somebody to please bring a little joy and hope to 4 children who have lost so much this year please and god bless.

  54. Good morning,

    I am finding that in Massachusetts it is more difficult then I expected to find places accepting items to help a couple families in need. My whole extended family went in together and purchased full decorations such as fake trees, stockings, etc. for a couple families in need in our area. I am having a hard time finding anyone who can help me get these to those families. Angie any help you can provide me would be greatly appreciated.

    I have three children, two boys ages 6 and 13 and a daughter who’s almost 9. Just moved to a new apartment (low income housing) near Charleston after working hard to get stronger both physically and mentally. Am separated from my husband who has abused me for 15 years and continues to do so but in different ways. Have been hospitalized and near death from the effects of the trauma associated with the abuse, major depression and anorexia nervosa. Finally received electro convulsive therapy for three months and have been building a new life since March of this year. I’m grateful to have Christmas with the children and to have my life and my health even though it’s still a challenge. I feel bad because I don’t have the money to get them much of anything and I don’t even have a Christmas tree for them to decorate. Is it too late to get help at this point? I honestly didn’t know I’d make it this far and only a few weeks ago was able to move here. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

  64. Stevie Sipes says

    This year I’ve had a lot of medical issues hit my family & I. We are a family of 5 (2 parents & 3 children) but only one parent works because I’m disabled. I got a total hip replacement in March & still dealing with other health issues at the age of 31. I’ve survived cancer when I was 18. We aren’t eligible for assistance in my state. So I’m sending this message hopeing God will provide in someway to help with medical bills or just help so our children can have a great Christmas because all 3 of them have seen their mother in pain going on for almost a year now. They’re really are great kids, they truly bless our lives so much & deserve more then we can afford by far. Hope everyone how reads this have a save & Merry Christmas.

    Hi I am a 30 year old woman living in kansas city missouri. i am a wife and mom of 3 little children and a step mom to a 16 year old. My husband works but by the time the bills are paid on (not caught up) and the toiletries, and food is bought we don’t have enough money at the end to get holiday shopping or birthdays together. i am in desperate need of assistance with clothes for everyone but me. My 16 year old daughter is 6’0 and 200 lbs, her mother buys clothes too small. my 5 year old is 48″ tall. and all his clothes had to be givin to his 3 year old brother because they’re too small. my 5 year old is so tall that he needs size 7-8 clothes, except underwear. my 3 year old son needs new shoes. ( size 10) my 1 year old daughter doesn’t have a winter coat and is wearing all her baby clothes (0-3 months to no bigger than 9 months clothes) My husband is 6’5 260 lbs, and i have no idea where to get clothes for him, and the clothes i have found are too much money. He needs a new coat, doesn’t currently have one, and he works at aplant that is very very cold during the winter. he needs good work shoes (size 13) for standing and walking all day/night long. I am the only one that doesn’t need too much of anything.
