The end-of-year holiday season is when families and friends gather together to celebrate with delicious food and gift-exchange activities. However, some people may still struggle to put food on the table.

Holiday seasons are always the best time in the year to appreciate the value of giving. Below is a list of charities and organizations that bring joy to children from low-income families at Christmas.

Toys For Tots Foundation, U.S. Marine Corps

This program collects donations such as clothing and toys from the public and distributes them to people or organizations in need during Christmas time.

Adopt-A-Family Program, Los Angeles County Department of Public Social Services

This program matches sponsors with a family and provides a wish list of groceries, clothing, or toys. The sponsor selects the gifts and delivers them to the “adopted” family. Last year, more than 1,880 gifts were provided to participating families.
