Holiday Giving

At Lena Pope, we are here for the children in our community, equipping them and their families with a strong foundation through counseling, education, and behavioral interventions. This holiday season, we want to ensure these children experience the joy and magic of the season, no matter the challenges their families may be facing.

Sponsor a Family

When you sponsor a family this holiday season, you will bring joy to children at a time when their families need a helping hand and help them create lasting holiday memories.

As a sponsor, you’ll receive wish lists for the children in a family identified by our staff as having the greatest need. Sponsoring a family is a meaningful way to make a lasting impact and share the spirit of the season with those who need it most.

When working with children on their wish lists, we focus on three categories to ensure each gift is meaningful: a Want: A gift valued at $50 or less; a Need: A gift card to cover essentials; and a Read: A favorite book to inspire a love of reading.

We hope to have all families matched by Thanksgiving (November 28) to allow time for shopping. All gifts and gift cards should be delivered to Lena Pope by December 13 to ensure timely delivery to families.

If you or your business would like to sponsor a family, please reach out to us, and we’ll provide everything you need to get started. 

If you cannot sponsor a family this year and want Lena Pope to shop for any families who are not sponsored, you can make a cash donation and we will purchase gifts on your behalf.
