Holiday Wishes
Help CCFI provide gifts for the hundreds of children and families they serve by participating in our Holiday Wishes gift drive. Through this drive, you can make a big difference in someone’s life. Picture the joy on a child’s face as they open a present and their wish actually comes true. Imagine the sense of relief when a single mother struggling to make ends meet realizes she will have something to give her kids this year. Feel the hope of a teenager who receives a special gift, letting him know he was not forgotten, someone really does care.
WHY do we need your help?
We want to make sure every child we serve has a gift to open and every family we serve is provided with much-needed essentials. In some circumstances, children we serve will spend their holiday in foster care or group homes and many of the families in our community-based programs are struggling to make ends meet. We do everything we can to make this time of year as joyous as possible for those who may be having difficulties.
HOW can you help?
There are multiple ways for both individuals and groups to make this holiday season memorable for our families!
Sponsor a Wish List
This year, we have more than 420 wish lists that need to be fulfilled. Each child’s wish list consists of 3 items, which include everything from toys to games to basic essentials. In addition to their wish list, each child also receives age-appropriate books and diapers or Pull-Ups (if needed). To sponsor a wish list, click the link below.
Gift Drop Off Instructions
All gifts need to be dropped off no later than DECEMBER 5th at Sooner Fashion Mall. During the drop off period, CCFI staff will be located in the space directly next to the Champs Sports location near the Sear's wing. For gift drop off, please pull up to the back door located directly on the curb on the south side of the mall and ring the doorbell. The door will be marked with a red bow (as shown below).

Sponsor a Book Bundle
We have partnered with PaperPie to host a Holiday Wishes Book Drive! Now through November 22nd, you can sponsor a set of brand new books from Oklahoma-based book publisher, PaperPie, for a $10 donation. Through PaperPie’s generous gift match program, when at least $250 is raised, CCFI will receive an additional 50% back in FREE books!
We've also set up a unique book drive link where you can shop for your loved ones OR purchase books and have them shipped directly to CCFI for Holiday Wishes. All books will be delivered by early December, so they are perfect for holiday gift giving. And remember, every purchase will increase our total and match possibilities from PaperPie!
