THE GIFTING PROJECT
Our mission is to ensure that all children feel the joy of receiving a gift thoughtfully picked out just for them.
HOLIDAY PROJECT
It's not trash! It's our mission!
In 2024, The Gifting Project shared gifts of love and food bags filled with delight to nearly 700 children in need. Trash bags filled with specifically selected gifts for a child in need is our mission. The majority of the children we serve live in our local Tarrant County community with a small subset also living in Denton and Dallas Counties.This year, we’ve set an ambitious goal to serve OVER 1,100 children!With your support, we can make this our biggest, brightest season yet—and bring joy to children in our community who need it most.
BIRTHDAY PROJECT
Receiving a gift makes children feel valued, worthy, appreciated, loved! The Gifting Project aims to provide gifts at special times all year. We launched the Birthday Project in Fall 2022 and have served over 80 children a year for each school year since starting the program. The birthday bags provide each child with a book gift card, birthday gift card and birthday theme treats for qualifying school age children.
Volunteer Organizations
The Gifting Project is a volunteer led organization that depends on volunteers and supporters like you to be successful. Angel sponsors are needed to shop for wish list items and deliver unwrapped gifts to one of our designated drop-off sites in early December. You may also drop new, unwrapped toys at the Southlake and Westlake Fire Stations. As always, our ability to serve those in need depends on support from organizations and individuals willing to partner with The Gifting Project by contributing gifts, funds or time.
