ST. LOUIS — The giving season is underway, and Little Wishes is back to help make the season brighter for children impacted by foster care. And for the first time in four years, Little Wishes Shopping Day is back!
Join 5 On Your Side and the Foster and Adoptive Care Coalition to help fulfill more than 4,000 wishes for area children.
There are two ways to buy a gift. Purchases can be made online through the Foster and Adoptive Care Coalition’s website between Nov. 22 and Dec. 20. Just pick a gift from the wish list, pay for it, and the rest will be taken care of.
Shoppers can also attend the Little Wishes Shopping Day from 8-9:30 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 2 at Circle of Knowledge in Sunset Hills. 5 On Your Side will be on-hand to help the Foster and Adoptive Care Coalition manage the event. Stop by and select a gift from the wish tree, pay for it, and volunteers will take care of the rest.
5 On Your Side has partnered with the Foster and Adoptive Care Coalition on the holiday Little Wishes campaign since its expansion in 2004. Little Wishes can also be made year-round for children in the foster care system. Visit our special ‘A Place to Call Home’ section to learn more about children up for adoption, and how to grant one of their Little Wishes.
To date, nearly 90,000 Little Wishes have been granted by the generous St. Louis community. Let’s add to that total and make this year the best yet!
