Holiday Magic Drive
Make the Holidays Magical
It’s Holiday Magic time, and we’re in full swing with our campaign to spread holiday cheer.
For many of the children, youth and families we serve, the holidays can be a sobering reminder of the instability, food insecurity and struggles they face every day. But with your support, we can make the holidays as bright and happy as possible by providing gifts for thousands of children and teens and Thanksgiving meals for the families who care for them.
Together, we can ensure that every child in our care receives gifts that are meaningful to them and bring a sense of joy, belonging and normalcy to their holidays.
Four Ways to Brighten Their Holidays
Sponsor a Child or Teen
3,200 children and youth across Brevard, Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties have each created a wish list that includes the three gifts they’d most like to receive.
Businesses, organizations and individuals are invited to sponsor as many children as they would like and make those wishes come true. Simply email community.relations@fpocf.org and let us know:
- The county where you live — Brevard, Orange, Osceola or Seminole.
- How many children you’d like to sponsor.
- Your point of contact, with a phone number and email address.
We’ll then send a list of children with their first names and three wishes to you or your group’s contact by the second week of November. After you’ve completed your shopping, simply drop off your gifts at one of our Santa’s workshops Dec. 10, so our volunteers can prepare them for delivery.

Donate to Our Holiday Magic Fund
We’ll use your generous donation to purchase gifts and gift cards to fill any gaps in our children’s wish lists.
Donate to Our Thanksgiving Drive
Food and family go together — especially on Thanksgiving. Your donation will help our families celebrate being together and all the things they are thankful for over a festive meal. (Simply select “Thanksgiving Baskets” from the drop-down menu on the donation page.)
A gift of:
$35 Buys a Thanksgiving turkey or ham
$75 Provides dinner for four
$150 Feeds two families
$375 Supports five families
$750 Makes magic happen for 10 families
Sponsor a Young Adult
Our young adults ages 18-23 also create wish lists of three items they need and would enjoy receiving. Please consider sponsoring one or more of our 210 “kids” entering adulthood without the support and safety net of a traditional family. Your kindness will make the holidays unforgettable for a very grateful young person. For more information about a wish list sponsorship, contact Cheryl.Walther@fpocf.org. Or you can donate to our wish list fund by selecting the “Youth Services” option in the drop-down menu on our donation page.
Thank you for your generosity and for partnering with us to help spread Holiday Magic throughout Central Florida. Your support lets our children and families know their community cares for them.
