Help Bring Joy to Local Foster Teens This Christmas

We are excited to partner once again with Foster Children's Alliance (FOCAL) this holiday season to raise funds for something very special: Christmas gifts for 20 local teens in foster care.

As you may know, the holiday season can be a particularly difficult time for children in foster care, especially teenagers who may feel overlooked or forgotten. This year, we want to change that by giving them the joy and warmth that every child deserves at Christmas time. With your support, we can make this holiday brighter for these young individuals who are in need of love, support, and care.

About FOCAL and Their Impact

Since 1985, Foster Children’s Alliance (FOCAL) has been a lifeline for foster children and families in Madison County. This incredible organization works directly through the Department of Human Resources (DHR) to provide vital resources to foster children and parents—helping to meet needs that aren't covered by standard foster family payments.

FOCAL supports foster children by funding extracurricular activities, hosting events, and covering essential needs that might otherwise be out of reach. Their commitment to local foster families has been transformative, and we’re proud to continue supporting their mission.

Why Your Donation Matters

Every donation made to this campaign will go DIRECTLY toward buying Christmas gifts for 20 local teens in foster care. These young people are in need of items that many of us take for granted—things like clothing, school supplies, or even simple personal gifts that bring comfort and happiness. Our goal is to provide them with presents that not only meet their needs but also remind them that they are valued and loved by their community.

How You Can Help

We need your help to reach our goal! Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a difference in the life of a foster teen this Christmas. Here’s how you can get involved:

Donate today: Your contribution will go directly toward buying gifts on the kids' personal wish lists.

Share the campaign: Spread the word to your friends, family, and social networks. The more people who know about this cause, the more FOCAL kids we can support.

Our Goal: $20,000

Our fundraising goal for this campaign is $20,000. With your generosity, we can ensure that these 20 teens receive thoughtful and wanted gifts that will make their Christmas amazing.

Thank you for supporting our local foster youth this holiday season. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in their lives. Let’s give these teens the Christmas they deserve.
