HOLIDAY WISH 2026

Help us grant a Holiday Wish for a child or teen in the care of Franklin County Children Services. For more than 60 years, Holiday Wish has been one of Central Ohio's most popular gift-granting programs. Because of your support, children receive more than gifts - they have an experience with their families that they will never forget. You can help us provide gifts for thousands of youths and add a little more magic to the holiday season.

The Holiday Wish Workshop isn’t open yet. If you would like to make a monetary donation, please see the information below… and check back soon to learn all the ways you can support Holiday Wish.

Donate to the Children’s Fund

Our Franklin County Children’s Fund includes several focused funds that support young people year-round. This season, we invite you to give directly to the Holiday Wish Children’s Fund to power our holiday efforts. 

How your donation supports Holiday Wish: 

• Gift cards for teens & young adults so they can choose items that fit their size, style, and needs with dignity. 
• Family Shopping Experience support, supplementing our in-house store where parents and caregivers select gifts directly for their children. 
• Filling critical gaps in priority items such as shoes, winter coats, STEM kits, age-appropriate electronics, and bikes.
