DIAL 211 - This is a free, confidential referral hotline that connects people to local health and human services. Operators maintain up-to-date lists of local charities, churches, and agencies offering holiday assistance and can provide direct contact information.
Local Churches and Faith-Based Organizations - Many local churches see holiday assistance as a core part of their mission. They often run "Adopt-a-Family" programs, where community members sponsor a local family in need.
County and City Social Services - A county's Department of Public Social Services (DPSS) is often a hub for support programs.
Firefighter Toy Drives - Community toy drives led by local firefighters are a holiday tradition in many areas. Families seeking to receive toys should not go directly to a fire station. Instead, they should contact 2-1-1 or a designated non-profit partner that handles distribution.
