Local nonprofit seeks individual and corporate sponsors to provide gifts for 3,000+ children in need this holiday season
ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich. – Gifts For All God’s Children is now accepting sponsorships for its 2025 Christmas program, which will serve more than 3,000 children in need in Southeast Michigan. Since its founding in 1987 at Faith Lutheran Church in Troy, the organization has provided gifts to more than 86,000 children in the community.
“There are many families struggling to provide for their children, , and we appreciate any help and assistance you can offer to make a difference in the lives of these children,” said Anna Marie Brewer, program manager. “Every child deserves to experience the joy of Christmas.”
Four Ways to Give
Gifts For All God’s Children offers four distinct giving options for individuals, families, churches, and businesses:
Sponsor a Child – Donors select a specific child and personally shop for five or six gifts including clothing, toys, books, and hygiene items. Sponsors receive the child’s name, age, and size information to ensure gifts are age-appropriate and needed. Click here to sponsor.
Donate Financially – Monetary donations allow the organization to shop on behalf of sponsors. Suggested donation levels include $30 for hygiene items, socks and underwear; $100 for a complete gift set including toys, books, clothing and hygiene items; and $300 to fully sponsor two children including warm winter coats.
