Holidays from the Heart offers a number of different ways for sponsors to reach out to families in need. Sponsors are encouraged to choose a giving option that works best for their personal availability of time and resources. The various methods for giving are listed below:
Provide a Holiday
for a Whole Family
With this option you will be assigned a family and given information for each member, including age, gender, sizes and wish lists. You will then shop for the whole family to fulfill their holiday needs. After purchasing gifts for the whole family, you will wrap and label the items in order create a personal holiday look.
Once you have purchased, wrapped and labeled your gifts, you will deliver them to Childrens Hospital where they will be stored at a special North Pole location until your family can pick up your generous delivery. If you prefer to give your gifts directly to your family, this can be arranged.
To request a family to sponsor please send an e-mail to Rgrushkin@chla.usc.edu. Please indicate the number of families you wish to sponsor, the size family you wish to sponsor and any other special requests (i.e. Location). Also, include all of your contact information including a phone number.
