Christmas Gift Sponsorship Program
This year, Big Hearts of Fox Valley has been given 597 D303 children’s wish lists, and every single one has already been sponsored!
But don’t hang up your shopping shoes just yet!
We still need your help filling bags for local tweens and teens. Check out our “Wish List for a Non-Specific Teenager” . These items help us round out gift bags for older kids, and they disappear fast every year.
💖 Looking for Other Ways to Help?
We’re always low on items for teenagers during the holidays. Unfortunately, these older kids are often overlooked.
Any contribution—whether it’s a donation or a gift—makes a huge difference and helps ensure every child in our community feels special this holiday season. Your generosity can brighten the day of a teen who might otherwise go without.
Shoppers can:
- Shop directly from our AMAZON TEEN WISH LIST and have items shipped straight to us.
- Drop off items by November 12th in our drop box located at:
Excel Automotive Repair
1207 Foundry St. Unit A
St. Charles, IL 60174 Monday-Friday 9:00-5:30
Please make sure any dropped-off bags are clearly labeled “Non-Specific Teen items.”
Happy shopping—and thank you for spreading the love!
Did you know we help families in our Christmas Gift Program not just with toys and clothing, but also a HOLIDAY MEAL every year? You can help by donating a grocery store gift card from a local establishment or making a donation for us to buy one for you. Our goal this year is to provide a meal to 300 families which means we need $15,000 in grocery store gift cards.

About our Christmas Gift Sponsorship Program…
Since 2014, we’ve proudly coordinated our Christmas Gift Sponsorship Program to ensure that children in School District 303 receive meaningful gifts handpicked from personalized wish lists created by their families.
What sets our program apart is the unique opportunity it offers sponsors to connect personally with the child they’re supporting. Each sponsor receives a wish list that reflects the child’s specific needs and desires, curated with care by their parents or guardians.
These wish lists often feature a combination of toys and essential items such as clothing, coats, and shoes. This thoughtful approach ensures that the gifts not only brighten the holiday season but also address important practical needs, providing comfort and relief to families.
Every family also receives a grocery store gift card and a family board game, because the holidays aren’t just about presents under the tree—they’re about meals shared and memories made together.
For many parents, this program lifts the heavy weight of the season and replaces it with joy, relief, and gratitude. By participating in our program, sponsors make a direct, positive impact in a child’s life while fostering a deeper sense of community and connection.
