To honor the kids we serve, we only accept NEW items.
Help fulfill the needs of our children.
A fundamental way we help children at risk throughout Utah is through our Wish List. Donors help fulfill our needs by buying the items identified and donating them, allowing us to have essentials on hand when children come into the system and meet their needs during their stay. Many children coming into the emergency shelter have little more than the clothes on their backs.
The Wish Lists meet the emergency needs and help us give the children normal childhood experiences, such as the simple joys of a birthday party, toys of their own, and a stuffed animal to hug.
If making a monetary donation is preferred, please click here to pay via credit card or check.
Thank you for making a significant impact in the lives of abused and neglected children.

Birthday Bags: Young adults transitioning out of state care and living on their own for the first time, have birthdays like everyone else. Our amazing Transition to Adult Living (TAL) programs provide a birthday bag to celebrate this often overlooked group. Help us celebrate these amazing youth by donating birthday gift items from our Birthday Bag Wishlist.
*The young adult does not get all the items on this list. They get 11 items, picked specifically for them by a staff*
1 out of 10 Utah children (84,000) lives with their grandparents or other relatives. If a child cannot safely remain in their own home, the best alternative is to place them with a Kinship Caregiver. We lessen the trauma children experience when we have them live with kin. Doing so results in a better outcome for the children and their families.
You can support these families by donating state-required household safety items, enabling children to be quickly placed in Kinship care! Please visit the Amazon Kinship Home Shopping List to make a donation!
Each year, The Christmas Box International distributes donations through our resource rooms for at-risk children being supported by the Department of Human Services. There are 22 resource rooms in Utah providing emergency supplies; including, clothing, school supplies, and hygiene items. Help us start new rooms and stock already existing rooms by getting items from our Resource Room Amazon Wishlist.
While the kids are our top priority, we still have day to day needs in the office. Help us make every dollar count by donating office supplies from our Administrative Wishlist on Amazon.
