Share a Little Magic This Holiday Season With a Displaced Child in Need

Foster Care Support Foundation is excited to announce that the 2026 Grands Raising Grands Holiday Wish Program is open!
This wonderful program spreads holiday cheer by providing gifts to children in Georgia's displaced relative care homes who might otherwise go without this season. Through this program, FCSF connects generous donors with children's Wish Lists, giving the community a chance to make the holiday season truly special for these deserving kids. Your participation can help fulfill a child’s holiday dreams.

WHO'S WISHES ARE BEING GRANTED?

The Grands Raising Grands Holiday Wish Program serves displaced children in Georgia who are being raised by grandparents or other relative caregivers, with little to no financial assistance. 

With the support of our generous community, we aim to fulfill hundreds of holiday wish lists for these children across the state.

 If you're interested in sponsoring a child for the holidays, please register here. As wishlists become available for matching, we will pair you with a child’s Wish List, along with detailed instructions for how to give. Please be patient as we process applications and eligible matches.

Please Note: Due to confidentiality, we cannot share the full names or contact information of the families we serve.

Program Eligibility Guidelines

This program is for displaced children being raised by grandparents, other relatives or fictive kin. 

All of the following must apply:

  • The child lives in Georgia.

  • The child’s biological parents don’t live in the home.

  • The caregiver doesn’t receive a per diem or monthly stipend for the child. Sibling subsidies and diaper allowances don’t count. If you receive SSI for the child, you’re still welcome to apply, and we’ll review your situation.

  • The caregiver is a U.S. citizen or legal resident.

  • The child is registered only once this year and isn’t signed up for any other holiday gift program, such as Toys for Tots, the Clark Howard Christmas Program, or a holiday program through a kinship care agency.

  • The child isn’t the caregiver’s own biological child.

This program does not serve the caregiver's biological children, children whose biological parents live in the same home, or children whose caregivers receive a monthly stipend.

Caregivers of eligible children can send an email to info@fostercares.org with their contact name and phone number to request an application link.
