Making the Season Bright

Little Wishes Holiday Program

Thanks to KSDK 5 On Your Side and thousands of generous donors, children impacted by foster care can receive special holiday gifts. Let us help you create holiday magic.

Who’s Eligible?

  • Children who are currently in the foster care system, or were in foster care and now live in one of the following counties with their adoptive or guardianship family
  • St. Louis City or the MO counties of St. Louis, Jefferson, St. Charles, Lincoln, Franklin, Warren, or IL counties of Bond, Clinton, Washington, Madison, St. Clair, Monroe, or Randolph

1.

Find Your ID

Locate your Coalition Caregiver ID, which can be found above your address on the outside of the newsletter you received from the post office.

2.

Find a secure address to provide for gift delivery

When you submit your Little Wishes holiday program request, you’ll be asked if you wish to supply a different address specifically for us to use when shipping holiday gifts. Most shippers require a physical address and leave boxes at the front door. We receive calls every year from caregivers who didn’t receive gifts that were shipped to them. Unfortunately, we can’t replace gifts that were delivered. If your current address is a P.O. Box number, please provide a physical address.

3.

Gather Information

Pull together all of the information you’ll need to complete your online request. You’re required to provide the name and phone number for each child’s current foster care case manager or adoption/guardianship subsidy worker. We WILL verify this information.

4.

Choose gifts!

Each child who qualifies for the Little Wishes holiday program may choose one (1) gift from the white sheets of the catalog. Children ages eight (8) and older who are CURRENTLY IN FOSTER CARE should also choose one (1) gift from the blue sheet.
