Holidays can be a challenging time for many. But imagine the added stress of also trying to manage a housing or financial crisis. HFF families and staff work diligently to shield Columbus families and children from eviction, from entering a shelter, and especially from becoming homeless.

YOU can make a difference this holiday season by: 

Hosting a Toy Drive: Our Holiday Experience provides HFF program families with the opportunity to select age-appropriate toys & gifts for their children. We need Central Ohio companies, organizations, groups and families to help us fill our office with gifts for children of all ages. Click here to register your Holiday Toy Drive. Please plan to deliver your toys by December 13.

Shopping our Amazon Wish List: You can bring joy and hope this holiday season by shopping from our HFF Holiday Wish List.  This is a great alternative to hosting a toy drive.  Your gifts will be shipped directly to us and made available for children and families enrolled in HFF programming. Click here for to shop our 2023 Holiday Wish List. 

Volunteering: Individuals and small groups are needed on-site to assist with our Holiday Experience on weekdays, December 4th - 21st, as gift sorter/organizers, car loaders, gift wrappers and greeters! Click here to find volunteer opportunities. 

Monetary Donations: Always needed, always meaningful. Donations are applied to the areas of greatest need to help support our families.  Click here to donate.
