Make a Difference.
Our Xmas Giving Campaign was created to bring hope and joy to children whose families are facing difficult times. Many parents in our community are experiencing financial hardship or navigating immigration-related challenges such as deportation or detention. During a season that should be full of warmth, many families are simply trying to make ends meet and that’s where we step in. Our mission is simple: to ensure that every child feels seen, supported, and celebrated this holiday season.

Who is eligible to receive assistance?
This campaign is specifically designed for families experiencing hardship due to immigration-related challenges.
To qualify, the household must have one or both parents who have been deported, detained, or are currently facing immigration-related separation.
Families must also reside in one of the following communities: Elizabeth, Long Branch, Newark, Riverside, or South River in New Jersey.
Priority is given to families experiencing financial or emotional hardship related to deportation or detention, such as loss of income or family separation.
Is assistance guaranteed once I apply?
Unfortunately, assistance cannot be guaranteed. Although we will do our best to support as many families as possible, the number of donations is limited. Submitting a request through our website form does not ensure that your household will receive assistance.
How do I apply for assistance?
All requests must be submitted exclusively through the form on our website. To keep the distribution process organized and fair for everyone, we kindly ask that families do not come to or contact our office to request donations. We are only able to process applications submitted online.
Do I need to pick up the gifts?
No, there is no need to pick anything up. All gifts will be delivered directly to the home address provided in the application, so families can simply wait for our team to arrive on one of the delivery dates.
What will families receive?
Eligible families will receive holiday gifts for their children, along with panettone. These items will be delivered directly to their homes during the scheduled delivery period.
When will the gifts be delivered?
Gift deliveries will take place on December 21st, 22nd, and 23rd. During these dates, our team will personally visit the address provided on the application form to deliver toys and panettone to families who qualify.
