UPDATE: 4th Annual Baskets of Gratitude Event a Success!
Thank you so much to our Love Button family for all the generous gifts and donations! Our 4th Annual Baskets of Gratitude was a success with your help, and we will be spreading the love to families in need across Southern California.
Take a look below for some photos of the day of our event! You can also look on our Instagram for an IG live we did to Call in the Light. We blessed each item that was being packaged for the beautiful children who will be receiving them.
A Call for Donations in a Year of Exceptional Need
The holiday season is here, and that means that Love Button Global Movement’s annual Baskets of Gratitude program is underway.
Every year your generosity blesses and overwhelms us as we distribute baskets of toys, books, and clothing to children in need across Southern California. This year, however, your help is needed more than ever because 2020 has been anything but an ordinary year.
The statewide response to COVID-19 has resulted in millions of family breadwinners losing their jobs and businesses. In a matter of months, their quality of life has been devastated. It’s estimated that nearly two-thirds of California families have been impacted in some way.
During this time, we’ve all struggled with the uncertainty, anxiety, and isolation that fills our lives today, but Love Button is about bringing people together through opportunities to share their love. So even though Baskets of Gratitude may be working with a smaller crew this year and we can’t all come together in person, we can still come together in purpose. As we reach out to those in need and experience the joy and connection that comes with giving, we strengthen our sense of community and commitment to each other’s well-being.
3 Easy Ways to Contribute
There are many ways to donate. Please help us expand qualities of love, kindness, and thoughtfulness as we extend generosity to the many children and their families in need in our communities this year by donating in one of the following ways:

Feeling Inspired? Create your own Baskets of Gratitude program in your own community.
Because the level of need is exceptionally high this year, and not just in California, it’s our hope that Baskets of Gratitude will inspire similar community projects this holiday season right where you are. Contact your local government, churches, and senior centers to find out where the needs are in your community. You don’t have to do something big, just do something, and together we can create a ripple effect of gratitude that encircles the world at a time when it desperately needs it. When you complete your acts of kindness, please share your photos highlighting you holding your Baskets of Gratitude on social media, and tag @lovebuttonorg and use the hashtag #TogetherInGratitude. Thank you for joyously spreading the love in your own communities.

Your thoughtful gift will be lovingly included in this year’s Baskets of Gratitude and will greatly uplift a child in need this holiday season.
