HOLIDAY FOR HOPE

Find a Giving Tree, or Host One of Your Own.

Every giving tree lives in a local business or community space, and every tag on it is a real gift request from a family in our area. Find a tree near you to pick up a tag and drop off your gift, or bring a tree to your business this season.

Before You Drop Off Your Gift

Keep it new and unwrapped. Our team checks every gift to make sure it matches the request.
Attach the tag. The tag's family number is how your gift gets to the right household.
Bring it back to the same location where you picked up the tag.
Drop off by the Deadline. Gifts need time to be sorted and delivered before the holidays.

Can't make it to a tree? You can still help.

Every Tag Protects a Family's Privacy.

Tags never show a family’s name, address or phone number. Each approved household gets a private family number instead, so the only thing you’ll see is what’s on their wish list. Gifts are delivered by StrongSteps in a way that keeps every family’s dignity and privacy first.

Bring Holiday for Hope to Your Business.

Hosting a giving tree is one of the simplest ways your business can show up for your neighbors. You give the tree a home, your customers and staff pick the tags, and a family in your community wakes up to gifts they asked for. It also brings friendly foot traffic through your door during the busiest season of the year.
