Delivering holiday love to those who need it most
Baskets of Gratitude is our annual holiday outreach program that brings essential supplies and uplifting moments to families, children, and individuals most in need.
Baskets of Gratitude supports thousands each year
Every holiday season, volunteers and community partners come together to fill and distribute thousands of baskets packed with items like diapers, toys, books, personal-care items, and more. In 2025 alone, we supported over 2,000 individuals, families, and children across Southern California and with your support we’re looking to increase that impact every year.
Whether it’s a single mother in transitional housing, a child spending the holidays in a shelter, or a family navigating economic uncertainty, each basket is a gesture of dignity and connection. The love is real. And it’s packed by hand.
A growing legacy of love and giving since 2017

Reflections from our volunteers
“Packing baskets with my kids taught them more about compassion in one afternoon than I could in a year. This is love in action.”
Sarah M., volunteer
“It’s not just packing a bag—it’s putting love directly into someone’s hands. That moment sticks with you.”
S. Lopez, volunteer
“You can feel the energy shift when a child receives a basket. They light up because they feel seen.”
“This is what the holidays are supposed to feel like—real connection, real care, and people helping people.”
