The possibility of any child waking up without a gift on Christmas morning is heart crushing. We intend to do as much as we can to prevent that by delivering gifts to children throughout the area. It's our 11th official year, and we are ready to hit the streets again, but we need your help to make a difference.
Last year Breathe 379, with the help of those supporting and partnering with us, were able to give out gifts, stockings and pjs to 1000 children. Since inception, Breathe 379 has given out over 6000 toys & 1100 sets of stockings and PJ's. (PJ's & Stockings started in 2020).
Here's how you can help to get more toys/stockings/PJs into the hands of some amazing kids.
Donate A Toy/Stocking/Stuffers/PJs
- Donate a NEW toy/gift for a child between the ages of Infant through 17 years old and drop it off at any of our Drop Zones (listed below)
- Donate a NEW red 18" Stocking (standard) for Salvatore's Stockings
- Donate NEW Stocking Stuffers for Salvatore's Stockings. (See the list below)
- Donate a NEW set of PJ's for the Pajama Extravaganza. (Sizes Infant to XXXL)
Become a Drop Zone
If interested in becoming a Drop Zone, email us and we'll provide a box for your
store/office etc. where the public can drop off toys/gifts. We'll announce it on our Facebook page and we ask that you do the same. On
Friday, December 15th our volunteers will pick up the box and items at your location. If it fills up prior the scheduled pick up date, please contact us and we will come by and empty
it, leaving the box to fill up again.
Host a Party or Team Project
- Host a Christmas party and instead of doing an exchange -
have your guests bring an item or two from the list.
- Have your class, team, Network Group, church, etc. take
up a donation or even a day of shopping for gifts.
Wrapping Party - Saturday December 16th - 11am - ...
Grab your favorite scissors, some wrapping paper and join
us on Saturday, December 16th for a day of gift wrapping. We start at 11am and go until we're
finished. Wrapping, stuffing stockings,
prepping PJs...eating, laughing, making new friends and all with a great
purpose.
SPACE IS LIMITED.
Click HERE to pick a time slot and let us know when you'll be coming out with us.
(If bringing a team or group, each person needs to respond separately).
Delivery Day - Sunday December 17th - 10am (This is an all day event)
Want to be a part of the delivery team? FIRST - be sure to watch the video above. In full disclosure - there is A L O T of walking, maybe even some light jogging (lol)...and well...its outside...so it maybe a bit cold. But this for sure is a day you will never forget.
For this, it is mandatory that every person attending must be 16 or older. From "Elves on the Run" to Santa himself - there is much to do, many faces to see and lives to touch. You will be boots on the ground for sure.
Space is limited for this day. Please fill out the Volunteer Form and in availability simply put Toy Delivery Day and we'll get back to you. (If bringing a team or group, each person needs to respond separately).
