Thank you for supporting our families this holiday season!
Families have been nominated by Brightpaths staff, are actively participating in our Home Visiting, Parenting, and/or counseling programs, and are not receiving holiday gift assistance from any other program.
To shop:
- Use our Signup Genius to select a child, children, or whole family! You can choose the size or ages that work best for you – but please do not sign up for a child/family unless you intend to purchase and deliver gifts to our office by December 5.
- Shop! Gifts can be purchased and shipped directly to our office through our Amazon Holiday Wishlist, or you can shop in-person and hand deliver un-wrapped gifts by December 5th.

FAQs:
Q: How do I pick a child/family/gift?
A: Sign up on the sign-up genius, then shop in person or online! In order to make flexible shopping options for every budget, we’ve broken families, children and gifts into individual lines. On the sign-up genius you’ll see “codes” – each Letter corresponds to a family, with the following number representing each child. For example, family A has 3 children, coded A1, A2, and A3, each with multiple gifts. Feel free to select a single gift, an entire child, or even a whole family! You can then shop in-stores wherever you’d like, or use our Amazon list with suggested gifts. Amazon gifts even have the child’s corresponding code in the note section.
Q: Do I need to purchase everything on the list?
A: No! The lists are provided as guides, but we ask that you shop for this family in the same way you would for a close friends’.
Q: Do gifts need to be wrapped?
A: No! We ask fro gifts to be delivered unwrapped so that our team can sort for duplicates, remove price tags, etc. Plus, some families asked that their gifts be delivered unwrapped for parents to wrap together. We have volunteers ready to wrap gifts the first week of December.
Q: How strict is the December 5th deadline?
A: Very. We need gifts in our office by December 5th so that our team has time to sort, wrap and hand-deliver gifts before our office closes for the Holidays.
Q: Can I shop for the parents, too?
A: Sure! We recommend a Wal-Mart gift card so that parents can get gas, groceries, necessities, or a fun item for themselves! If you’d like to contribute to a parent on top of that, please contact us.
Q: Are you accepting new family nominations?
A: Not at this time. Our families are internally nominated by their Family Support Specialist, Counselor, or Parent Educator.
Other ways to support this Holiday Season:
We anticipate a significant increase in families seeking support this holiday season. We are always in need of diapers, wipes, and baby formula. You can purchase those directly from our Amazon Wishlist or deliver any M/W/F from 10-12.
Please consider making a gift to our Family Resource Fund, which helps us meet direct and emergency family needs:
