Healthy Start hosts many events throughout the year.  We'd love to see you at our fundraisers and educational events.

Giving Tree Printable 2025 (6).png

Christmas will be here before we know it. While the holidays are a joyful time for many, they can also bring extra pressure for families trying to make the season special for their children.

​

Last year, the generosity of our community helped 385 children wake up to Christmas gifts. Each gift was a reminder that these children are seen, loved, and cared for. This year, even more little hearts are counting on us.

​

Through Healthy Start’s Giving Tree, children enrolled in Healthy Start and other home visiting programs, Martha’s House, and Freedom Ranch are matched with caring donors. Donors can shop for a child using their wish list or make a donation toward a gift. Every contribution, big or small, helps bring a child a little more joy this Christmas.

​

When you take part, you’re doing more than giving a gift. You’re helping a child feel remembered and giving their family one less thing to worry about during a busy time of year. Together, we can make the holidays brighter for children and families across our community.

​

Want to help? Sponsor a child by shopping from a wish list or donating toward a gift. Your kindness can make a lasting difference this Christmas.
