Helping Give Back


As spring blossoms, bringing new life and warmth to our surroundings, it gently reminds us of the power of renewal and giving. This spring, let’s spread more than just sunshine and blossoms! Embracing the essence of spring, let’s commit to kindness and generosity, or simply share a smile.  By intertwining the essence of spring’s renewal with Christmas’s spirit of giving, we find a year-round invitation to spread joy, kindness, and compassion. Together, we can make every day feel like Christmas.  Mark your calendars for our November 2024 Homeless Holiday Gift Drive!


THANK YOU FOR AN INCREDIBLE 2023 DRIVE! We are so grateful that our annual 2023 Homeless Holiday Gift Drive was a success with every small homeless Christmas wish being filled, as well as each homeless resident receiving a new pillow and pillowcase that we also collect with your help!

Our Founder. 

Our founder Aleta Pritchard LOVES Christmas and believes that everyone should feel that magic at Christmas especially those where the holidays during can be a really hard time of year, the homeless. Eleven years ago, our charity emerged, creating a meaningful bridge for community members eager to give back and make a significant impact!

For the last eleven 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 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. 


Thank You For Promoting Us!

facebook-christmas-picturesAt Helping Give Back we are always looking for creative ways to spread Christmas Magic while raising awareness to the homeless during the holidays and one of their more difficult time of the year. We use Facebook and Instagram to inspire everyone and Give Back with us to directly impact the lives of homeless children, families and individuals.  It is only with YOU that we are able to raise awareness!  Thank you~


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.”
