We believe Bright Holidays truly has an impact. Bright Holidays began when its founder learned of children: who stayed home from school when temperatures dropped because they didn't own a coat; who had never received a holiday gift; who slept on floors without blankets; who didn't have basic school supplies; and who went without food because their families had very little income. These are the people Bright Holidays helps.

If you can't make a cash donation for the holiday season, please give us your time by volunteering. We are also looking for local businesses, civic organizations and individuals to sponsor toy & book drives, and fundraising events.
