The holiday season can be a joyous time for adults and children alike. Unfortunately, for some families, the holidays can be stressful and filled with uncertainty. For more than 20 years, Arizona’s Children’s Association has been the answer for many of these struggling families with their “Gifts of Hope” program.

This program provides holiday gifts for families in Mohave and LaPaz counties through toy drives, donations and pick-a-family trees.

Gifts of Hope would not be possible without the help of individuals and local businesses with their incredible generosity. Arizona’s Children Association would like to thank the following businesses, individuals and anonymous donors.
