Central Florida Holiday Toy Drive

Santa's Bag of Hope​

Help New Hope Bring Joy to Children and Families in Need

As the holidays approach, New Hope for Kids begins the important task of filling Santa’s ‘BAG OF HOPE’ with gifts for the kids. Our goal each holiday season is to help provide gifts to the children and families in our grief and wish programs. Many of our families are dealing with financial burdens due to the death of a wage earner or medical expenses. Please help us make their holiday a memorable one!
