Help Dreams33 brighten the holidays for students impacted by foster care with a Holiday Cheer Box.
The most meaningful gifts often carry a simple message: You matter. You are remembered. You are loved.
For students impacted by foster care, the holidays can bring a complicated mix of emotions. Through Dreams33’s Holiday Cheer Boxes, you can offer practical support, a little holiday magic, and a heartfelt reminder that a community is cheering them on.
Each box is thoughtfully filled with:
-
A $100 grocery gift card to help bring nourishing meals and favorite holiday foods to the table
-
A $100 Amazon gift card so students can choose essentials or something special just for themselves
-
A cozy winter blanket to wrap them in warmth throughout the season
-
Holiday candles and soaps to bring seasonal comfort to their space
-
Festive treats and surprises to add a little sweetness and joy
Every gift is chosen with care, but what makes each box truly special is the kindness behind it: your kindness.
Sponsor a student’s box for $350.
Give one student a complete Holiday Cheer Box filled with useful gifts, comforting touches, and a reminder that they are cared for.
Give any amount.
Every dollar donated to this effort goes directly toward creating these boxes. Gifts of every size come together to make something meaningful possible.
Spread the word.
Share this opportunity with friends, family, and colleagues. Your invitation could inspire someone else to make a student’s holiday brighter.
Will you help us send a student a little extra warmth and love this holiday season?
Thank you for being part of the Dreams33 community and for showing our students that their joy, well-being, and dreams matter.

Giving to worthy causes instead of giving gifts to family this year. Love your targeted charity, much needed and a wonderful way to pay it forward.
