For 40 years, Kids’ Voice has been a dedicated advocate for children involved in the legal system, providing best-interest representation, support, and ensuring their voices are heard. Many of these resilient children spend the holidays in foster care or other out-of-home placements, longing for the comfort of familiar connections and holiday cheer.
Each year, the Kids’ Voice Holiday Gift Drive helps make the season brighter for the children and youth we serve. This year, we’ve collected more than 900 wish lists, and we’re counting on community members like you to help make their holiday wishes come true!
There are three easy ways to get involved and make a difference:
Sponsor: Purchase gifts from a child’s personalized wish list ($100–$150 per list).
Collect: Host a toy drive and gather new, unwrapped gifts to help fulfill wish lists.
Donate: Make a financial contribution to help us purchase gifts and stock our Youth Enrichment Closet, where staff select gifts to deliver to children in time for the holidays.
Browse the available wish lists to become a wish list sponsor. Your support makes holiday wishes come true! Thank you for helping us make a difference.
Who are the children receiving gifts? The wish lists come from children served through our programs. These children are involved in Marion County family court cases due to abuse, neglect, or other challenging family court situations.
Can I sponsor more than one child’s wish list? Yes! Many supporters choose to sponsor multiple wish lists or coordinate with friends, family, or coworkers to make an even bigger impact. This year, we’ve added the option to sponsor a household’s full wish list.
How much should I spend on a wish list? We recommend each child’s wish list totals $100–$150.
When and where do I drop off gifts? Bring your gifts to FlexPAC (6075 Lakeside Blvd., Indianapolis, IN 46278) on Staurday, December 6 from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Do the gifts need to be wrapped? We ask that gifts remain unwrapped, but you’re welcome to include wrapping paper, gift bags, or tissue paper so caregivers can wrap them.
I want to help, but don’t have time to shop. Can I still contribute? Yes! You can donate directly to our Holiday Gift Drive fund. Your financial donation helps us purchase items from wish lists and stock our Youth Enrichment Closet, where staff can select gifts for children whose wish lists go unmatched or who enter care after our deadline.
Are there other ways to support the children you serve? The children we serve need joy and support year-round, not just during the holidays. Beyond the Holiday Gift Drive, Kids’ Voice maintains an Amazon Wish List to keep our Youth Enrichment Closet stocked. This closet provides gifts to children throughout the year, offering encouragement and care when they need it most. Shop our Amazon Wish List here!
A special thank you to FlexPAC, our Holiday Gift Drive sponsor, for generously providing their warehouse for gift drop-off and pick-up days. Their partnership makes this effort possible and helps us spread joy!
