This holiday season, you can be part of something meaningful for Stockton’s youth and families. Our youth have selected their own wish list items — toys, games, books, and tools that reflect their hopes, curiosity, and imagination. Your gift will bring joy, confidence, and a sense of belonging.

When you support Friends of the Children – Stockton, you’re helping build relationships that last - a Friend who shows up every week, year after year, no matter what. That consistency creates opportunity, stability, and hope.

Your support this season helps ensure our youth and families feel seen, supported, and empowered. Here are a few meaningful ways to give:
