Holiday Giving Campaign/Toy Drive
Our Holiday Giving Program serves approximately 400 individuals during the Holiday Season. We provide families with food, gifts, and essential household items, depending on their needs. We not only give to the family member affected by sickle cell disease but to all children, teenagers, and caregivers in the family; therefore, our need for toys, gift cards, and monetary donations are great.
SCDF offers this program to minimize stress during the Holiday Season while taking care of the family’s needs. It is also a time for our organization to bring happiness and joy to families who undergo numerous disappointments throughout the year.
