Holiday
Adopt a Family
This holiday season, Hollywood PAL is adopting 10–15 families who are working hard but struggling to make ends meet. Many parents can’t afford gifts, warm clothing, or basic essentials — and each year, we step in to make sure their children still experience holiday joy.
Now you can help, too.
You can adopt a full family, donate wish-list items, or contribute funds toward gifts and necessities. Together, we can make sure every child feels special and every parent feels supported this season.
Adopt-a-Family
We will match you with a family and share their wish list or you can donate and let us shop for the family on your behalf.
Donate Now
Help fill the gap on one of our families’ wish lists
Volunteer to Wrap
Help wrap gifts and write positive notes that each child and parent will receive. (Dec 15th-18th)
