Give a Child a Christmas
Welcome to our most heartwarming campaign of the year! At the Boswell Family Charitable Foundation, we believe every child deserves to feel the magic and love of the holiday season. Our annual Give a Child a Christmas program is a direct expression of our mission to spread joy and hope, ensuring that children in our community have cherished gifts to open. Through your generosity, we are able to show vulnerable young people that they are not forgotten—they are loved.
How the Program Works
We partner with various organizations across the community to identify children in need. Our process is designed to be simple and meaningful for everyone involved:
- We Identify Children: Our community partners provide us with a list of children who would benefit from the program.
- Wishlist’s & Sponsorships: We create personalized Wishlist for each child, allowing donors to directly purchase gifts they want and need.
- Gifts of Joy: You, our community of donors and volunteers, purchase the gifts or make a financial contribution.
- The Christmas Party: We host a special Christmas party where all the gifts are delivered, celebrating the holiday with the children and bringing their wishes to life.
Expand Our Reach: Nominate a Community Partner
We are always looking for new opportunities to bring Christmas joy to children. If you know of a children’s home, a youth center, or a similar organization in the Montgomery area that would be a perfect fit for our program, we would love to hear from you.
By nominating a community partner, you can help us expand our reach and make a difference in the lives of even more deserving children.

“The Christmas drive reminded our children that they are not forgotten—they are very much loved. They were honestly overwhelmed that someone who doesn’t even know them would share a gift. It was a display of the unconditional love of God.”
