Our elves are working overtime this holiday season and they need to be fed.

During Gift the Joy, our team puts in extended hours to make Christmas magical for over 3,000 kids. That is a lot of love, a lot of wrapping paper, and apparently a lot of hunger.

That is where you come in.

Sign up to Feed the Elves and bring a meal or snacks for 6 to 8 people. No cooking required, just show up with something delicious. Ideas to get you started:

- Sandwiches or wraps
- Charcuterie board
- Takeout from a local favorite
- Pizza
- Small bites or appetizers
- Treats and snacks, fruit and veggie trays

A full belly means a happy elf and more gifts going out the door to kids who need them most.

Link in bio to sign up and Feed the Elves. We promise the elves are very grateful. ❤️🎁

357 volunteer hours. That is people giving their Tuesday afternoons, their Saturday mornings, and everything in between for children they have never met but showed up for anyway.

A blanket feels like a small thing. Until you understand what it means to a child who does not have one.

Ready to help? Drop off a brand new blanket at our Impact Center at 1523 Howard Access Road, Unit A, Upland, Monday through Thursday, 10am to 4pm. You can also ship directly to us or shop our wishlist through the link in bio. ❤️

A blanket is one of the first things a child reaches for when the world feels scary. Not every child has one waiting for them.

For vulnerable children navigating trauma across Southern California, something as simple as a soft blanket can be the first signal that someone out there cared enough to think of them. That they matter. That someone showed up.

Warrior for Children serves over 300 children every month, and every single resource request we fill includes a brand new blanket. But to keep showing up that way, we need this community behind us.

Every blanket donated helps us keep our shelves stocked so we never have to say no when a child needs one. Given with dignity. One kiddo at a time.

Drop off at our Impact Center in Upland Monday through Thursday, 10am to 4pm, or ship directly to us. Link in bio to shop our wishlist and help us keep serving children across San Bernardino, Riverside, Los Angeles, and Orange Counties. ❤️

Every year, this community shows up for thousands of children navigating trauma across Southern California. This year, we are doing it again and we need more hosts than ever to make it happen.

3,000 children are going to receive a brand new, fully personalized holiday gift this Christmas. Not a hand-me-down. Not a generic toy. A gift chosen specifically for them, because that is the only way Warrior for Children knows how to do this.

15,000 gifts. And we need as many drive hosts as possible to get there.

We are not asking you to do anything complicated. Bring a giving tree to your business, drop a donation box at your location, or rally your online community. You bring the people. We bring the boxes, the flyers, and the plan.

Your workplace, your church, your school, your holiday party. If people show up for you, they will show up for these kids.

Drive runs November 2 through December 14. Spots are limited and they will fill up.

Comment HOST below and we will reach out with everything you need to get started. ❤️🎁

People ask us all the time what Warrior for Children actually does. The honest answer is more than most people expect.

Yes, we provide tangible resources. New clothes, hygiene essentials, birthday gifts, and comfort items chosen specifically for each child. But every item we give is chosen with intention because a child navigating trauma needs to feel seen and valued, not just supplied.

We also invest deeply in trauma-informed education. Helping the caregivers, teachers, volunteers, and community members in a child’s life understand how trauma actually shapes the way a child feels, communicates, learns, and responds. Because you cannot show up well for a child you do not understand.

And we create healing experiences. Moments where a child gets to just be a kid. Where joy, connection, and new memories take center stage instead of survival.

Resources that restore dignity. Education that builds understanding. Experiences that make room for joy.

This is what Warrior for Children does every single day for vulnerable children navigating trauma across San Bernardino, Riverside, Los Angeles, and Orange Counties.

Follow along to see it in action. ❤️

This time of year, most of us are pulling out the chunky blankets and settling in for fall.

But for a child navigating trauma across Southern California, that kind of comfort is not a given. There is no favorite blanket waiting on their bed. Sometimes there is nothing soft to hold onto at all.

This October, Warrior for Children is collecting blankets to make sure our kiddos feel the warmth of this season too. Every single item goes directly to a vulnerable child who needs it, given with dignity and chosen with care, one kiddo at a time.

Because cozy should not be a privilege. It should be something every child gets to feel.

Drop off at our Impact Center in Upland Monday through Thursday, 10am to 4pm, or ship directly to us. Link in bio to shop our wishlist and help keep our kiddos warm this winter. ❤️

Think about the last birthday card you received that made you feel truly seen.

Someone took the time to write something just for you. Not a generic message. Words that made you feel like the person who wrote them actually knew you.

Now imagine being a vulnerable child navigating trauma in Southern California who has never had that moment.

Every birthday request Warrior for Children fills includes a handwritten card with a personal message written specifically for that child. Their name. Their worth. A reminder that someone out there is thinking about them on their day.

It costs almost nothing to write. It means everything to receive.

This is what community service looks like up close. Not a grand gesture. Just a volunteer sitting down to make sure a vulnerable child opens a card on their birthday and realizes they were not forgotten

Wait until you hear the last one…

We loved hosting our golfers for Warrior for Children’s 4th Annual Golf Classic. This is a HUGE event we look forward to every year!

Thank you to all who golfed, sponsored, donated, and volunteered to make this event such a huge success for our kiddos.

Until next year!
