Every Child Remembered. Every Family Seen.
Day of Giving shows what can happen when a community comes together for families who need a little extra support. Since our first Day of Giving in 2017, that idea has grown into something bigger than one day.
Behind every registration is a real family and a story. Some parents are working through a difficult season and trying to make sure their kids still get to experience the joy of the holidays. The messages they share remind us how much it means to know that someone sees them and cares.
On Day of Giving, you might meet a mom raising her kids on her own, stretching every paycheck so the rent gets paid first. You might meet grandparents who never expected to be raising little ones again, doing it with all the love they have. You might meet a family starting over after a hard year, still finding reasons to be grateful, and hoping this one day can feel like a fresh start.
Last year, we received registrations representing 2,268 family groups and 6,169 children under 18. Those numbers show the need, but they can’t fully capture the impact of a child feeling remembered or a parent knowing they don’t have to carry everything alone.
What makes this possible is our community: the volunteers who give their time, the businesses and sponsors who step up, and the people who help us reach families. On Saturday, December 19, 2026, from 7 AM to 3 PM, we gather again at the Peoria Sports Complex (16101 N 83rd Ave, Peoria, AZ) for the 10th Annual Day of Giving.
Together, we’re showing our neighbors that they matter – and you can be part of it.
