Forgotten at Christmas

Bring Christmas hope to disabled children in state care

Why Forgotten at Christmas?

Many of the children we serve live with significant disabilities and have been placed in long-term state care.

Some have family who visit.

But many do not.

Christmas can feel like any other day in a facility—no stockings, no tree at home, and often not even the basic items they need.

Forgotten at Christmas exists to shine a light on these children and remind them they are seen, valued, and loved.

What's inside a christmas care bag?

Essentials

Socks, personal care items, toiletries, and everyday basics.

Meaningful Gifts

Small, age-appropriate Christmas gifts chosen to bring joy.

Delivered with Care

Volunteers from The RISE Generation deliver the bags in person on December 24.

Help us reach 100 children this year

Each bag tells a child, “You are not forgotten.”


Your generosity helps us make sure as many children as possible are remembered this Christmas.
