Kids' Voice Holiday Gift Drive
Thank you to everyone who helped make the holiday season brighter for the children and youth we serve! Your support, whether gathering wish lists, volunteering, sponsoring, or donating, has made an impact.
As you know, the needs of the kids we serve continue year-round. You can continue to help by shopping from our wish list to send gifts directly to the Kids’ Voice Youth Enrichment Closet or donating directly to fulfill wishes and essential items.
Kids' Voice Youth Enrichment Closet
Our Youth Enrichment Closet at Kids’ Voice provides a variety of items, including a limited supply of diapers, wipes, backpacks, school supplies, toys for special celebrations or birthdays, books for all ages, greeting cards, hygiene supplies, and travel bags. If the children that you serve need any of these resources, please contact Zachary Alexander at zalexander@kidsvoicein.org to arrange a time for pickup.
