Club Families need your help this holiday season.
For 19 years, our community’s generosity has brightened the holidays for local families through our Annual Holiday Gift Drive.
This year, more than 300 Club Families and 1,100+ individuals need your help to give the gift of cheer this holiday season. Every gift helps make an impact – big and small – for families in need.
Provide Gift Cards
A gift card brings greater dignity to our families during the holidays. It provides the joy and pride that comes from choosing a special gift for their child, cooking a holiday meal, celebrating with family, and so much more!
After purchasing the gift cards, please deliver or mail them to our headquarters at 1400 N. Dutton Ave, Suite 24, Santa Rosa, CA 95401.

When you adopt an entire family this year, you ensure no one goes without. We have letters from families that share their specific needs and wishes. Please click here to email Sarah Ramos to request a letter. Thank you!

Q: Why aren’t you accepting physical gifts this year?
A: Gift cards brings greater dignity to our families during the holidays. It provides the joy and pride that comes from choosing a special gift for their child, cooking a holiday meal, celebrating with family, and so much more!
Q: Can I deliver the gift cards personally?
A: We love that you want to connect with our families directly. However, to protect their privacy and to help them celebrate the holiday with dignity, we keep Club family details private.
Q: I want to participate, but don’t want to adopt an entire family. Is that ok?
A: Absolutely! Feel free to make a donation to our holiday gift drive or purchase gift cards from Walmart, Target, Safeway, or FoodMaxx in any amount. We will make sure they be included in a family’s holiday.
Q: When do I need to turn in the gift cards I’ve collected?
A: We’d like to have all gift cards received in our office by December 8th at 1 PM. Our offices are located at 14oo N. Dutton Ave #24 in Santa Rosa and are open between 8:30am-5pm Monday-Friday for deliveries. If you need to arrange another time, please email Sarah Ramos at sramos@bgcsonoma-marin.org.
Mateo, a bright 5th grader, loves playing soccer and helping his younger sisters, Isabella and Camila, with their homework. His parents, Maria and Carlos, work long hours to keep their family stable, often juggling multiple jobs to cover rent and bills. Despite their hard work, the holidays are a struggle. Gift cards to Target, Walmart, or Safeway will help create a warm and joyful Christmas morning filled with laughter and love.

Lucia, a caring 3rd grader, and her energetic sister Ana, a 1st grader, live with their mother, Marisol. Since their father left, Marisol has worked tirelessly to provide for her girls. Lucia and Ana love making crafts at the Club and baking cookies when their mom has a rare day off.
