Hope for the Holidays

The Buckeye Ranch Hope for the Holidays Program

Our Hope for the Holidays program matches donors with youth receiving support from The Buckeye Ranch. When matched with a youth, donors receive a wish list of their needs for the holiday season and have the opportunity to help provide hope by shopping for those needs.

Our team was elated to see the community’s response to support the youth and families we serve during our 2025 Hope for the Holidays program! Nearly 450 incredibly generous donors stepped up to fulfill all 2,567 wish lists for youth in our community! Each year, the need grows as we serve even more youth across our programs – and we need your help.

Signups for our Hope for the Holidays 2026 program will begin in mid-September! Please check back for details.

How the Program Works

There are a few ways you can participate in The Buckeye Ranch’s Hope for the Holidays program.

Hope for a Youth: Get matched with a youth receiving services from The Buckeye Ranch and receive their wish list covering their wants and needs.
You can shop our Amazon Wish List: Youth we serve have continued needs around the holidays and throughout the year. By shopping our wish list, you can make holiday wishes come true for months to come!
You can provide hope through a monetary donation here: These donations will be used to support youth served by all of The Buckeye Ranch’s programs throughout the year.

If you have questions about our program, please email us at hopefortheholidays@buckeyeranch.org.

Connecting Donors with Families in Need

Each donor receives a wish list covering the youth’s wants and needs. We work closely with our programs to find the best match that meets our donor’s giving level. Each donor can sign up to be matched with as many youth as they have the capacity to support.
