Donate backpacks filled with school supplies or a child's exact holiday wish.
Over the last 25 years Family Giving Tree has served more than 1,200,000 children and individuals throughout the greater Bay Area as we actively endeavor to inspire the values of kindness, philanthropy and volunteerism in our community. With the invaluable financial support of our donors and sponsors, the hands-on involvement of our volunteers, drive leaders, and in partnership with wonderful nonprofit agencies and school partners, the Family Giving Tree stages two major drives each year: a Back-to-School and Holiday Wish Drive. The Back-to-School Drive is a donation program that provides backpacks filled with school supplies and books to local K-12 children most in need. The Holiday Wish Drive is a gift program during the holidays that fulfills children’s exact holiday gift wishes.
