Welcome to FFAN's 9th Annual Holiday Drive.

Each year, FFAN supports children in foster, kinship, and adoptive care by filling their wish lists for the holidays. Our program is unlike any other... We collect lists from the families who need assistance for each child in their household, then we use our network of supporters to either adopt those lists or support us through a monetary donation so that we may fill those lists. Once we have the gifts, we invite the parent, not the children, into our resource facility where they can collect the gifts, wrap the gifts, and proceed to have the holidays in their home as they see fit and on their timeline. We do NOT involve the children in the process.

Most holiday programs have a strict sign up deadline. For example: "We must have your lists no later than October 15th so we can get them assigned out and completed in time for the holidays". While we completely understand that process, in foster care, we see just as many children enter care in November and December that need assistance quickly. That is where our donation portion comes in. With your help, we will have the funds we need to fill emergency lists as children enter care with not much time before the holidays. Your support is imperative to our mission.

Over our previous 8 years, we have filled lists for over 2,000 children. We have delivered wish lists on Christmas Eve, and on one unfortunate occasion, on Christmas Day. We are a holiday lifeline for those in our communities who would otherwise not have any gifts for the holidays.

Thank you for your support. We appreciate you more than we can say.
