Working to help fulfill teenager wishlists this Christmas.

While this is very exciting to help bring the holiday to teens we need to be aware that it is also a delicate situation. 

How it works

If you choose to sponsor a teen, we ask that you spend $100 per teen as these are the guidelines provided to us that we have agreed to abide by and to pass on.

We will provide you with a random ID number that helps us to identify the teenager, the teens age, sex, first, second and third item on their wish list. Sometimes these lists are very vague and we need to do some guessing. Ask your own teens or neighbors to help with the lists. If their first choice item is $100, it is okay to purchase just the one item.  If you are a few dollars over or under, that’s okay too!

Want to sponsor a teen but don’t have time to shop or are afraid what you pick won’t be in style? We have you covered. You can sponsor a teen via a donation. Please click the DONATE link at the top of the page and in the comment section, write sponsorship for a teen. Please be sure to put your name on the sign up list on the website as well.

Not looking to sponsor a teen but still want to send some gifts? We can do that as well. We will be building an amazon wish list with the most requested teen items from last year that you can purchase directly and have them shipped to us.

Ready to hit she shops with family, friends or colleagues? We will send you the teens information and you can either drop off to the address provided 24 hours a day into a deck box on my farmers porch OR you can come to our Holiday Drop of party at SSB on Saturday December 4th. You can drop off your gift, get a photo with Santa and grab a drink while sharing in the merriment of the season.

Rules for presents

There can be NO candy or food in the bags at all, we love the sentiment, but it will be removed before going to the teen.

Please no clothing with profanity, or anything inappropriate on it.

If the teen requests makeup, please be mindful that the world is kaleidoscope of colors and avoiding anything needing to color match would be best.

Please do not wrap the gifts as we need to make sure all items are appropriate. Can you add wrapping paper, ribbons and tape into the bags? Sure can!

For those of you that attended the golf tournament you most likely heard my brother state that the most requested item of the 142 teens we bought presents for last year was a blanket. This was not an exaggeration. We will be adding blankets to all bags that go out to teens this year.  We want to feed as many families as possible and we want to keep them warm as well!
