This Christmas, Help Make the Season Magical!
For many children and youth, Christmas has not always been a time of joy. Some have never known the comfort of a loving home, the excitement of decorating a Christmas tree, or the simple joy of opening a gift chosen just for them.
Together with our generous community, Olive Crest collects more than 10,000 toys and gifts each Christmas to make sure every Olive Crest child experiences the magic of Christmas.
You can help make Christmas more than a holiday. Be the miracle and help make it a moment of joy, belonging, and hope that a child will remember.
We are accepting gift donations from
November 2 – December 4
