LCCS Holiday Gift Drive
Thank you for your interest in the Lucas County Children Services Holiday Gift Drive. For the abused and neglected children that we serve, your donated gifts may be the only ones they receive. Some live in homes teetering on the brink of crisis. Others cannot live safely at home and are in substitute care, or are separated from their siblings at a time when they should be filled with excitement about the upcoming holiday season. Whether you are able to give one gift or 100, your support is appreciated. It will bring a smile to the face of a child who may have little to be happy about this holiday season.
Need suggestions?
Call Lucas County Children Services (LCCS) at 419-213-3254. We can offer general recommendations based on gender, age and race, which can be helpful when selecting items such as dolls or certain hygiene products. The agency’s goal is to provide each child under the age of 12 with three gifts, and our teens with a gift card.
Gifts should remain unwrapped. However, we appreciate—and welcome—donations of wrapping paper, gift bags, tape, bows and ribbon. There is no need to label the gifts.
Want to help a teen?
Like all teenagers, LCCS teens love to make their own buying choices and they love gift cards. We welcome prepaid MasterCard and Visa cards, as well as cards to stores like Wal-Mart, Target, or Meijer. Please make sure to write the value on any gift card.
