Wish List

Our program has an ongoing need for donations that can be used to enrich the lives of the children and families we serve. Because the majority of our families are living in poverty, they often have needs outside of the classroom. Your donation could help to meet those needs!

We have an Amazon Wish List, to make giving easy no matter where you are! Items can ship directly to us. You can check out the link here:

Holiday Sponsorship

During the winter, before winter break, we also work hard with community sponsors to get a gift donated for every Head Start child. This is a remarkable commitment of time and energy on the parts of us as well as our wonderful, generous donors. We also work with local and long-distance donors to sponsor entire Head Start families during the holidays, providing gifts for every family member.

**Please note, these opportunities are only available to Jefferson County Head Start families.**
