Spread the Gift of Joy!
Help VOCEL support families & children from Chicago communities this holiday season.
Gift of Joy is our annual holiday tradition championed by a generous community of VOCEL supporters.
Founded nearly a decade ago by Jon, Valencia, McKenna, and Jaden Fellows as a winter coat drive called Gift of Warmth — it has grown into so much more! Now, supporters come together to sponsor family wish lists that include children’s toys, clothing, and gift cards for groceries to spread joy and cheer to parents and their little ones.
We’d be truly honored if you joined us in this VOCEL tradition.

Ready to Support?
Let your Gift of Joy captain know you’d like to get involved and sponsor a VOCEL family wish list.
The deadline to drop off donated gifts at the VOCEL office is Friday, December 5th!
Want to support, but no time to shop for gifts?
You can still support hundreds of kids and families by making a donation to help outfit VOCEL classrooms across the city. Your gift could sustain a classroom library, fund developmental screenings, and even sponsor a child’s entire year of programing with VOCEL — at zero cost to their families.
Thank you for your kindness and support. Your generosity will bring so much joy to our VOCEL families and their little ones this holiday season!
