How can you help?

Support Making Spirits Bright financially through a meaningful donation or by shopping from our carefully curated Amazon wish list. Your generous contribution enables our organization to continue providing vital support to underserved youth aging out of foster care, helping them feel truly loved and acknowledged during a holiday season that can often be lonely and challenging for them.

Participants are asked what they would wish from Santa, their favorite colors, snacks, drinks, and favorite places to shop or eat. Gifts are tailored to their answers. Each person gets new sheets, a cozy blanket, winter gear like hats and gloves, toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, deodorant, razors), new socks, and snacks. The special “Santa” gifts vary each year based on their wishes. The program began in 2022 with 10 people, doubled to 20 in 2023, grew to over 40 in 2024, and aims for 50 this year, hoping to double again.
