What is the Holiday Aid Program?
Holiday Aid Program is a seasonal program that brings the spirit of Christmas to underprivileged families, ensuring they experience the joy and warmth of the season.

• Gift-Giving Program for Children: Making sure every child has a present to open on Christmas.
• Community Holiday Event: Festive events for the whole family to enjoy.
We want to relieve some of your financial worries.
We want to relieve some of your financial worries.
Since 2018 Uplift has remained committed to supporting parents and guardians who may be struggling financially by giving you an opportunity to choose gifts to give them during the holiday season. The total financial impact of the items you can receive for your children ranges from $75 to $250 PER CHILD each year.
Our goal is to relieve as many financial burdens related to providing for your children as we possibly can, allowing you to redirect any funds you may have spent on these items to support your family’s needs in other ways.
It takes a village, and Uplift wants to be part of yours!
Connecting you with us
WE’RE BRINGING THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT TO DISADVANTAGED KIDS!
Because we believe that EVERY child deserves to have joy-filled, magical, holiday memories.
Parents or legal guardians of Tally area children who are receiving any form of public assistance are able to receive FREE holiday gifts for their children.
Unlike many nonprofits that distribute holiday gifts to disadvantaged children, Uplift allows parents to choose which toys and gifts they want to give their children and to give them to them however and whenever they choose. For last few years, parents were invited to come to our site, and pick up donated toys and clothing. In an effort to keep our staff, volunteers and the families we serve safe during the pandemic, Gift a Child Holiday Aid Program has gone digital! Now parents can register their children, upload proof of benefits, and pick up gifts at our assigned location.
