Project Info

For the past 17 holiday seasons, the Family Giving Tree has provided gifts to more than $500,000 low-income children, including foster children, in Silicon Valley and the greater Bay Area. This year, The Family Giving Tree has a goal of funding gift-giving to a group of local foster children who might otherwise go without a single gift this holiday season. In many cases, these are children who have suffered from parental neglect and abuse, leading them to be placed in a foster care home or group home, where they receive counseling in building self esteem and life skills. These inspirational children are living with the continued hope that a permanent and loving family is just around the corner for them.

The Family Giving Tree's goal is to raise $1,500, which will provide gifts for more than 75 deserving boys and girls. You can help make their holidays a season of smiles! Your kind and generous donation will let them know their community cares about them.

Family Giving Tree is a great way to give some joy to kids who need it during the holidays. It would be great to know that no child went without a gift this year.
