Donate to the
Holiday Gifts for Kids Program
Do you remember the excitement and joy you felt as a child on Christmas morning? You have the opportunity to give that excitement and joy to a child in the Bemidji area who might otherwise go without this Christmas. By donating to the Holiday Gifts for Kids program: you help alleviate the financial stress many low income working parents or people living in poverty face during the holiday season; you are giving a child the opportunity to experience the spirit of Christmas; and you are providing memories that will last a lifetime.

The Holiday Gifts for Kids program provides children, ages 0-16, that reside within the Bemidji area school district, with an age appropriate toy. More than 1100 children take part in the program each year. All children must be pre-registered and meet the program's guidelines prior to participating.
