Make This Holiday Season Brighter for Long Island Families

For over 141 years, Family & Children's Association has stood as a beacon of hope for Long Island's most vulnerable families, children, seniors, and communities. During the holidays, this mission becomes even more meaningful as we work to ensure no family faces the season without support and joy.

Your participation in our Adopt-a-Family program creates ripples of hope that extend far beyond a single gift.

When you create a fundraising team, you're not just raising money- you're building a community of compassion that multiplies your impact. Each dollar raised helps provide holiday gifts, essential items, and moments of joy for families who might otherwise go without.

Ways to Make an Impact:

-Start a Fundraising Team: Rally your friends, colleagues, or family members to join your fundraising effort. Set a goal, share your personal connection to the cause, and watch your impact grow! Click ‘Start Fundraising’ toward the top right of this page for next steps.

-Make a Donation: Every contribution, regardless of size, helps bring the holiday spirit to families in need across Long Island. Click ‘Give Now’

-Shop Our Amazon Wishlist: Purchase most-requested items directly from our wishlist to help fill any last minute needs or gaps

Last year, our community came together to bring joy to 1,219 individuals across 481 households. This year, with your help, we can reach even more families facing challenges during the holiday season.

Behind every donation is a Long Islander whose holiday will be transformed by your generosity—a child opening a wished-for gift, a parent experiencing relief, a senior feeling remembered and valued.

Thank you for being part of our community of care this holiday season!
