The Spirit of Giving Holiday Gift Drive is the leading organization in our community granting holiday wishes to children but we cannot do it without you support. This year, you can help make a child’s wish come true in the following ways: Sponsor a child by fulfilling a gift on a gift tag Collect new, unwrapped gifts – we will provide the collection box Make a cash or gift certificate donation and our elves will do the toy shopping for you. The idea of a gift drive began back in 2001 when Barb and Dick Schmidt (Founders of the Spirit of Giving Network) asked their friends to bring a gift for a child to their holiday house party. The response was overwhelming and the rest is history.
