This holiday season, you can give hope to Central Oregon children and families impacted by abuse. By offering a little joy and helping families meet their basic needs, you can help provide stability in times of crisis. With your support, children and families can shift from surviving to healing.
Now through December 31:
Three ways you can give hope:
A gift card can help a family fill their pantry, fuel up their car to get to critical appointments, or purchase essential household items. While you’re out shopping, purchase gift cards to local grocery stores, gas stations or big box stores.
You can bring gift cards to KIDS Center during regular business hours (Monday-Friday, 8 am-5 pm) or drop off gift cards in our drop box located near our front door. You can also mail gift cards to us:
KIDS Center
1375 NW Kingston Ave.
Bend, OR 97703
Make a donation to our Gift Card Fund, and we’ll purchase gift cards on your behalf! The Gift Card Fund provides timely and targeted support for local families impacted by abuse.
Shop off our wish list on Amazon, and we’ll distribute toys to children served by KIDS Center. Make the holidays bright for a family in need.

If you belong to a business or organization, you can give even more hope for the holidays! Put up a giving tree, wreath, garland or counter display (we’ll provide the tags, envelopes and signage). Then rally your coworkers, members or customers to participate!
