2025 marks the 34th year of the Stockings With Care Program!
Working with partner agencies across New York City, this beloved program fulfills the holiday wishes of more than 3,000 children in shelters and transitional housing.
Each child makes a list of three holiday wishes. A sponsor “Santa” buys and wraps the gifts on their list.
Unlike other holiday drives, gifts are delivered directly to the parents or caregivers to give to their children—allowing them to be the heroes for older kids and preserving the magic of Santa for younger ones.
When a child unwraps exactly what they asked for, they know they are seen, valued, and loved. And their families get to create the joyful holiday memories they deserve.
