Spirit of Giving

As the season of peace, love, and giving nears, we’re grateful for the generosity that supports over 3,000 children and youth across Indiana every day. Our annual Spirit of Giving campaign offers simple, meaningful ways to make a difference this holiday season. See below to discover how you can help spread joy.

Please make sure all holiday donations are NEW, UNWRAPPED, and delivered by MONDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2024, to your nearest Villages office. We also ask that gifts not be purchased at a dollar store.

Amazon Wish List

Purchase items directly from our Amazon Holiday Wish List and ship directly to The Villages of Indiana. Items will be distributed to our offices throughout the state.

Host a Holiday Gift Drive

A Holiday Gift Drive is the perfect way to engage your community in a worthy cause. Host a drive at your business, faith community, school, or club. View and/or download our Holiday Wish List flyer for more details.

Sponsor a Family

The Family Connection Network supports heroic kinship caregivers: grandparents raising grandchildren; sisters raising siblings; aunts raising nieces and nephews… all standing in the gap, helping their extended family thrive. Help make their holidays special. The suggested donation amount is $100 per family member. Family sizes vary from 2 to 8 members. Donations must be delivered to the Indianapolis office by Monday, December 9th. Please note: We are unable to accept meals for the families or make personal introductions.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, all participating kinship families have been sponsored in 2024.
