Kids' Voice Holiday Gift Drive
For over 35 years, Kids’ Voice has been a strong advocate for children involved in the legal system, providing them with best interest representation, support, and ensuring their voices are heard. Many of these resilient children find themselves in foster care or other out-of-home placements, which can make the holiday season a time of longing for the warmth of familiar connections.
Last year, thanks to the generosity of our donors and community partners, we were able to bring holiday joy to over 750 children and youth—including those in foster care, kinship care, and residential care. This year, we’re aiming even higher, with a goal to serve 1,000 children. We invite you to be part of this meaningful effort. Your support can brighten the holiday season for children who need it most.
Sponsor a Holiday Wish
Bring joy to a child this holiday season by becoming a gift sponsor. We collect wish lists from children and youth in our programs, ensuring each gift is personalized to their wishes and needs. If you’re interested in sponsoring a child and receiving their holiday wish list, complete the form below to get started.
Host a Toy Drive
If we’re unable to gather a specific wish list, we keep extra toys and gifts on hand for staff and volunteers to “shop” from. You can make a difference by hosting a toy drive for unwrapped toys, gifts, and wrapping paper. If this is your preferred way to support the drive, let us know how you’d like to get involved!
Make a Donation
Would you prefer to make a financial contribution instead? Your donation helps create a joyful and fulfilling holiday season for children and youth, filled with the gifts and essentials they deserve.

How does the Kids’ Voice Holiday Gift Drive work?
Wishlists and Matching: Kids’ Voice staff, along with our dedicated volunteers, work to collect the names and wishlists of children and youth, ensuring their holiday wishes are heard and fulfilled.
Shopping Magic: Generous sponsors shop to make each child’s wishes come true. With care and compassion, they select and purchase the perfect gifts for the children and youth.
Gift Gathering: In late November, the gifts are generously dropped off by sponsors at FlexPAC. There, the Junior League of Indianapolis and Kids’ Voice staff collaborate to sort through the gifts, ensuring that each child receives exactly what they wished for.
Delivery and Smiles: Kids’ Voice staff and Volunteer Advocates then pick up the lovingly prepared gifts and deliver them to the children in time for the holidays.
Are there additional ways to support Kids’ Voice and the children you serve?
Absolutely! The children we serve require joy and support year-round, not only during the holidays. In addition to the Holiday Gift Drive, Kids’ Voice maintains an Amazon wishlist specifically designed to replenish our Youth Enrichment Closet. This closet is used to provide gifts to children throughout the entire year. So, if you happen to be shopping on Amazon, it’s incredibly easy to add a gift to your cart and contribute to spreading joy, regardless of the season. Shop our Amazon wishlist here!
