Helping Give Back


Spring Has Sprung…But We’re Already Dreaming of Christmas

It is Springtime, with flowers blooming, warming days with a shining sun, inviting us to be inspired by the fresh start Spring offers and find ways to give back. From planting trees and supporting local farmers to volunteering at food banks, there are countless opportunities to spread kindness.

We’ll need YOUR help to make it special, and it’s never too early to start planning ways to give back. Stay tuned for ways you can get involved and help spread holiday cheer when the season arrives.

Our Founder. 

Our founder, Aleta Pritchard, loves Christmas and the Holiday Season and is passionate about sharing its magic with everyone, particularly the homeless, for whom the holidays can be an exceptionally difficult time. Twelve years ago, this charity was born, forging a significant bridge for community members wanting to GIVE BACK and make a meaningful difference in our communities.


Creating Magic for the Homeless for the last 12 years!!

For the last twelve years Helping Give Back and YOU have been making Christmas Magic happen by gifting the unexpected Secret Santa wishes of homeless children, individuals and families and spreading HOPE, JOY and SMILES Christmas morning! Thank you!

What we do.

Each year we host our Online Holiday Homeless Gift Drive! This is where children, individuals and families staying at local homeless shelters during Christmas will tell us here at Helping Give Back exactly what they wish they had and then you sign up using this link and fulfill their small wishes. You can also shop our easy Amazon wish list where your generously donated items can ship directly to us. 


TOGETHER WE ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE!

Below is a passage of a letter from a homeless shelter resident we reached out to for a Holiday Drive.  This is why we continue doing what we do, but remember…none of this would be possible without YOU.        Thank you!

“…My son and I were showered in donated gifts….we were so excited to receive such nice things, like: new brand new winter coats, shoes and boots, warm clothes, toys and games. This made us feel very special and loved by people out there who truly cared about making our hearts so happy during the holiday season. Without all of the hard work that staff put in to make sure this happened, we might not have had such a joyous Christmas.”
