NVFS Holiday Giving

bring joy to a family this holiday season

Our holiday drives have wrapped up. Thanks to YOU we were able to collect 15,000 pounds of food and 2,500 toys to help children and their families have a joyous season.

Thank you to our generous 2023 Holiday Drive sponsors!

Operation Turkey Grocery Gift Card Drive

This year, Operation Turkey looks a little bit different. In order to better meet the food preferences of the diverse households we serve, we will be collecting and distributing grocery store gift cards for families to use to prepare holiday meals. 

If you are interested in providing food donations for Greater Prince William County families, visit the Fall Food Drive page. Please note, there are no volunteer opportunities associated with the Operation Turkey Grocery Gift Card Drive.

Gifting for Families: Collecting Toys for Children in Northern Virginia

Help make the holiday season brighter as we distribute more than 2,500 toys to children and their families in Northern Virginia. Whether you donate, volunteer, or organize a toy drive, it can’t happen without you.

1. DONATE FUNDS

Your donation enables us to purchase any additional toys or gift cards needed, as well as grocery store gift cards for our client families to use for holiday meals and basic necessities. 

2. DONATE TOYS

NVFS’ Holiday Giving Amazon Wishlist is now closed. You can still give by dropping off toys or donating online.

If you are a corporate or civic group and would like to organize a collection drive, please contact Lacy Hurst at LHurst@nvfs.org. 

3. DONATE GIFT CARDS

Gift cards in suggested multiples of $25 are also appreciated. Target, Walmart, Amazon, and Visa gift cards provide the most flexibility for our clients who can use them for food, necessities, clothing, or holiday purchases. Supermarket gift cards are also gratefully accepted. 

Please note, should contributions to the NVFS Holiday Giving program exceed our budgeted need, gifts will be directed to where they are needed most to help children and families living in poverty throughout Northern Virginia.

4. SPONSOR HOLIDAY GIVING WITH NVFS

By sponsoring NVFS’ Holiday Giving program, your company will be recognized on a reusable grocery bag customized for this project. These bags will be used to distribute holiday meal packages to our neighbors in November and December.
