✨ The season of giving is here — and this special Heartfelt Hangout is all about helping our foster youth experience the true joy of giving! Participating children should be old enough to create a simple wish list for their loved ones and shop on their own with the help of one of our volunteer elves. This event is designed to help children experience the true joy of giving—selecting thoughtful gifts for others and wrapping them with love!
Each child will receive a $200 Target gift card to spread holiday cheer in three meaningful ways:
🎁 $150 to shop for their loved ones
💖 $25 to pick out something special for themselves
🎀 $25 for wrapping supplies to make every gift shine
Our cheerful volunteer “elves” will be stationed throughout the store to help each child shop for their gifts and wrap them with love! To make the experience even smoother, please have each child come prepared with a wish list for the loved ones they plan to shop for — this will help their elf guide them through the aisles with ease.
