Volunteers preparing holiday gifts

Take action

2026 Holiday Gift Drive

Bring a smile to the face of a Maryhurst child this Holiday season. You can help us by participating in our Holiday Gift Drive. This is a perfect opportunity for individuals, friends, family, church, neighborhoods, or places of employment.

This year we have several options

Choose how you'd like to give

Option 01

Fulfill full wish lists

A list will consist of 6 gifts (approximately $300) or 3 gifts (approximately $150) that the child has personally chosen.

Option 02

Take a gift tag

We can create gift tags in $30, $50, and $70 dollar ranges. Each gift tag will list the child's name, age, and one item a child has picked in the dollar range you choose.

Option 03

Donate gift cards

Donate gift cards from Walmart, Target, Amazon, Meijer, Kohl's, or Old Navy in $25 increments.
