The nation’s oldest child welfare agency, The Home for Little Wanderers, has kicked off its annual Big Wishes Gift Drive, running now through December 21, to make the season brighter for youth and families in their care. As you shop for your loved ones and embrace the holiday spirit, we invite you to share that joy with children in need.
Thousands of children in our community, many recovering from abuse, neglect, or facing other challenges, are supported by The Home for Little Wanderers. Your gift can remind a child that they are not alone, and that someone truly cares. Be that someone today!
How to Give
There are several ways to brighten a child's holiday:
- Drop off a gift: Visit The Home’s Toy Room, open December 2 through December 21, at 780 American Legion Highway, Roslindale, MA 02131. Unable to deliver to the Toy Room? Bring your donation to any participating Bernie & Phyl’s or Coldwell Banker drop-off location. For Toy Room hours and partnering locations, please visit thehome.org/bigwishes.
- Shop The Home’s Amazon Wish List: Purchase a gift off of The Home’s Amazon Wish List, which reflects the top requests, needs and wishes of the children and families in their care. Gifts will be shipped straight to The Home’s Toy Room.
- Mail a gift card to:
- The Home for Little Wanderers, Attn: Big Wishes
- 72 E Dedham Street, Boston, MA 02118
- Popular choices include gift cards for T.J. Maxx, Target, Market Basket, Amazon, VISA, and more.
- Donate online: Make a monetary donation at thehome.org/donatebigwishes to help bring joy to kids and families during the holidays and all year round!
The Home for Little Wanderers supports children and families through over 30 programs, offering foster care, adoption services, behavioral health, special education, and more. Last year, thanks to the generosity of our community, we raised over $160,000, collected 20,000 toys, and fulfilled the wishes of 5,000 children and young adults in need.
This year, you can make a difference again. Join us in spreading joy and ensuring every child feels valued this holiday season. Visit The Home’s website www.thehome.org/bigwishes to learn more about the Big Wishes Gift Drive.
