Give joy this holiday season

All year round, thousands of individuals and families turn to Family Service for help with a variety of needs. During the holiday season, needs are greater and these same people turn to us to help make their holidays a little brighter.

We are now accepting new, unwrapped gifts for children and teens. In December, clinicians and case managers will have the opportunity to shop for their clients and/or their children, with the help of our staff and volunteers.

A list of suggested gift items is below; however, you can’t go wrong if you simply purchase the same sort of items you might buy for your own family members!

How to Donate:

You can support our Holiday Gift Shop by:

  • Scheduling a gift delivery with Anne Marie Richards at arichards@fsabc.org, or 215.757.6916, ext. 218.
  • Making a monetary donation, so that our staff or volunteers can shop for gifts.
  • Purchasing items from our wish list online at www.fsabc.org/holiday (or via the QR code). Items will ship directly to Family Service.

All gifts must be delivered/received at our Langhorne office, located at 4 Cornerstone Drive, on or before December 9, 2024. Your generosity will help us provide a joyful holiday for many Bucks County residents. Thank you for your support!
