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 this holiday season and have the opportunity to help provide hope by shopping for those needs. The deadline to sign up to be matched with a youth for the 2024 Hope for the Holidays program was December 2, 2024.

A heartfelt thank you to our almost 350 donors who signed up to support wish lists this year! Thank you for providing hope for the youth and families we serve this holiday season. This year, our community helped us fulfill 1,189 wish lists to support 475 households. That’s a lot of hope this holiday season!

Missed the opportunity to be paired with a family but still want to support youth we serve? No problem! You can still support our work by making a monetary gift to The Buckeye Ranch or by shopping our Amazon Wishlist to fill future holiday needs for youth we serve!

How the Program Works

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

  1. Hope for a Family: Get matched with a family receiving services from The Buckeye Ranch and receive their wish list covering their wants and needs before December 2.
  2. You can shop our Amazon Wishlist here: 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!
  3. You can provide hope through a monetary donation here: These donations will be used to support youth and families 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 family’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.
