Winter Wishes

About Winter Wishes 2026

Opportunities to spread joy this 2026 holiday season opening on November 15!

We’re pleased to once again host our annual holiday (virtual) gift tag program, Winter Wishes. Together with our partner organizations and our generous community (you included!), we help more than 400 kids, families, and neighbors receive a little comfort and joy each holiday season.

We have a few familiar partners this year as well as a couple of new organizations to support.

Robert Eagle Staff & Whitman Middle Schools, Broadview Emergency Shelter, Dorothy Day House, Greenwood Senior Center and PNA Hot Meal Program are returning. In addition we are excited to support LGBTQ youth and community with our new partners STANCE and Lambert House. Please check out these partners to learn more, and check back on November 15 to sign up for a gift.

Additional Information

• Information below is not current. Please check back after November 15. Thank you! 
• Please note: gifts should be delivered/mailed/shipped directly to our partner organizations.
• The dates listed next to each gift (usually 12/31) are a placeholder. The actual deadlines are listed both in each org’s blurb, and in the confirmation email you will receive upon signing up.
• By signing up, you’re committing to purchasing and either delivering or sending the item requested. You will get a confirmation email with the due date and the delivery instructions. Once you’ve signed up for a specific tag, no one else is able to “take” that tag.
• Our partner organizations understand our donors (you!) expect to spend $25-$30 per gift. Some participants have requested items that are more expensive (dream big!). You are allowed to spend more, but it is not expected. It is OK to purchase a gift card of $25-$30 toward the purchase of that item.
• Some organizations choose gift cards over physical gifts for many reasons, but rest assured these are going to the children and their caregivers. If you want to include an age appropriate gift along with the gift card that is OK.
• Please let us know as soon as possible if you’re no longer able to fulfill the tag’s request.
