At Give Kids The World, hope is a critically ill child laughing in a splash garden. It’s volunteers carrying breakfast trays for parents who carry the weight of their child’s sickness. And it’s donors finding a place where their money can make a difference.

Anyone who’s volunteered, donated, or partnered with the Village knows it sparks in them a renewed sense of purpose and hopefulness. They feel inspired by these children, their resilience, and the sound of their laughter despite their pain.

As we head into the holiday season – starting with Giving Tuesday on November 26 – we’re celebrating exactly that. We’re reflecting on the ways our families, volunteers, and supporters come together to make the Village a place of magic and a place of hope.

Giving Tuesday kicks off a season of gratitude. As you think about what you’re thankful for, it’s your chance give back and pay that gratitude forward.

Join us as we celebrate the power of hope – and the power you have to create happiness and laughter for children and families who need it most. In return, you’ll walk away filled with hope and purpose.

Watch this short video to learn more about why we’re celebrating.

There are a number of ways you can join us and make a difference on Giving Tuesday and through the end of 2018. Have a great Village story? Share it with your friends and family on social media. Want to make a donation? We would be forever grateful.
