Support the Making Memories Drive!
Help Boys Town Central Florida's children and families make new memories this holiday season by supporting their wish lists or donating gift cards.
Each year, Boys Town Central Florida serves over 1,000 children and families facing neglect and are often at risk of separation. Five local programs serve residential youth and families throughout the community at no cost to those served. Holidays can be hard for those with lived trauma and it is the organization's goal to bring new light and memories for those who have lost all hope.
Help us make memories for children in need by supporting the Making Memories Drive! This is an annual holiday gift and gift card drive to support those we serve, bringing them their wants AND needs to ensure no child gets left behind during the season of giving.
Check out our Amazon wish lists below to support one or more programs in need this holiday season:
Family Home Program
This is our staple residential program, serving up to 6 boys or girls in a family-style foster care home. Each youth has faced hardships and overcome their biggest struggles through their time at Boys Town, and now they're sharing their Christmas Wishes with you!
Intervention & Assessment Shelter
This is the ONLY all-youth shelter in Seminole County that serves youth throughout the tri-county area facing crises, from homelessness to violence within the home. This program provides a safe place for all in need. With up to 12 boys and girls at a time, the shelter has a jam-packed holiday wish list!
In-Home Family Service
Families throughout the county receive no-cost support through this preventive care program, addressing behavioral concerns while ensuring parents have access to vital social resources. Navigating a loss of income, insurance, or even a family member can be tough, but with In-Home Family Services, they receive the help they truly need through a 3-4 month consultation program. Help give these families hope by supporting their wish lists!
