Join VOCEL in spreading the Gift of Warmth!

Help us support families & children from underserved Chicago communities this holiday season!

Gift of Warmth is an annual holiday share championed by a generous community of VOCEL supporters. Together, these donors sponsor hundreds of VOCEL families with toys, clothes, and gift cards to help bring joy and cheer to parents and their little ones.

We’d be honored if you’d join us in this special VOCEL tradition.

The deadline to donate is December 15, 2022.

Ways to get involved:

1. Make a monetary donation & we'll buy the gifts!

Want to give a gift but don’t have time to shop in stores? No worries! You can make a monetary donation to Gift of Warmth, and our team will use all funds raised to purchase gifts for VOCEL families on your behalf. However, should all gift needs already be met, any unused funds will directly support VOCEL's general operations to help young children and their families thrive in 2023.

Please contact Anais Gonzalez Nyberg, Development Manager, at anais@vocel.org with any questions about making an online donation to Gift of Warmth.

2. Host a company gift drive & wrapping party

For info on how to help get others in your community involved, please contact Anais at anais@vocel.org.

3. Donate your time and help deliver gifts to families

We need volunteers to help us distribute gifts between December 14 - 21. To get involved, please fill out this sign-up form.

Thank you for your consideration and support. Your generosity will bring so much joy to our VOCEL families and their little ones this holiday season!
