Holiday Wish Lists for CHRIS 180 Youth and Families

Wish List for Toys and Presents

We offer parents in our community the opportunity to shop for presents for their children. Often during the holidays, parents stress about how they will provide a special experience for their kids while also keeping up with the normal bills and expenses. During the pandemic, that’s even more of a concern for many. Nonprofit organizations may help by donating presents to the community, but that can take away the dignity of parents getting to pick out a present themselves for their child. CHRIS 180 makesure parents and caregivers still have that experience by allowing them to come to our Wrapping Party. They can come in and pick out gifts for their children with the help of our staff. We make sure that their presents get wrapped and topped with a bow to take away any additional stress they may be feeling! Toys and presents bought off our Amazon Wish List make this whole experience possible. Make sure you use AmazonSmile and select CHRIS 180 as your charity of choice and we will receive a percentage of your purchase back from Amazon. 

Wish List for JourneyZ Youth

The youth living in our foster homes get to create their own personalized wish list for the holidays! CHRIS 180 ensures each youth wakes up on December 25 with a pile of wrapped presents with their names on each one. The items on our Amazon Wish List were specifically requested by youth in our care. Purchasing items off this list helps CHRIS 180 to make sure we create the most magical holiday for our youth!  

Wish List for Wrapping Supplies

CHRIS 180 wraps THOUSANDS of gifts during the holiday season. You can only imagine how many rolls of wrapping paper, bows, tape, gift tags, and scissors we go through during the holiday season! Each present that our youth and clients receive is wrapped up, labeled, and finished with a bow. This means we need a whole lot of wrapping supplies to get us through the season!
