The
Forgotten Children's Fund began bringing Christmas to
deserving families in Pierce County Christmas of 1999 when a
handful of dedicated volunteers took up the cause. That
first year we delivered to over 120 children in 38 families.
We now deliver to over 450 children in about 140 families
each year!
The
Forgotten Children’s Fund helps struggling families in
Pierce County make Christmas brighter for their children.
With the continued layoffs and economic setbacks, it appears
that this could be another difficult holiday season for many
families, and we are looking to you for support!
What we do…
- Find families trying to help themselves, but still in need
- Arrange for Santa & Elves to deliver wrapped gifts and
food on Christmas Eve
- Provide new winter coat, blanket, food,
and at least three new toys for each child
Who we are…
- A non-profit organization with no administrative costs
- A group that is supported 100% by volunteers
- Founded in 1976 in King County; expanded to Pierce County
in 1999
- People who enjoy giving to others at this special time of
year
How we’re doing…
- Over 150 volunteers deliver to over 450 children in
140 families each year
- Work closely with local agencies to find qualified,
deserving families
How you can help…

cause
- Tax-deductible contribution

organizations

To
see the sparkle in the eyes and the smile on the faces of
children when Santa arrives bearing food, blankets, bikes
and gifts is a wonderful experience. We hope you will join
with us at this special time of year to make the season
brighter.

“To believe
in making wishes
and have faith they can come true,
To believe that you can find some joy
in everything you do,
To believe in giving gladly
for no reason, just because,
To believe in love . . . that’s what it means
to believe in Santa Claus.”
