Spirit of Giving

As the season of peace, love, and giving approaches, we are deeply grateful for the generosity that brightens the holidays for children in foster care and older youth who have aged out of foster care across Indiana.

Our annual Spirit of Giving campaign makes it easy to share joy and hope with those who need it most. See below for simple, meaningful ways you can make a difference this holiday season.

Please remember: all donations should be NEW, UNWRAPPED, and delivered by Friday, December 12, 2025, to your nearest Villages office. We also kindly ask that gifts not be purchased at dollar stores. Finally, although GIFT CARDS may seem impersonal, they are our most requested item by our teens and older youth.

Amazon Wish List

Purchase gifts directly from our Amazon Holiday Wish List and ship directly to The Villages of Indiana main office. Gifts will be distributed to our offices throughout the state.

Host a Holiday Gift Drive

A Holiday Gift Drive, Giving Tree, or other type of collection 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 Spirit of Giving Wish List 2025 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. Complete the form below to express your interest in sponsoring a family and we will notify you of your assignment starting November 3rd. 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 8th. Please note: We are unable to accept meals for the families or make personal introductions.
