Gifts of Love 2026

Gifts of Love is a need-based annual drive to provide holiday gifts for children, teens, and older and disabled adults living alone. It brings joy to families living below the poverty line, and to older adults who might not receive any other gifts this year.

Here’s how it works:

SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER 2026
Pre-registration for faith communities and previously participating organizations.

During this time, participants who have received financial assistance from ICS, as well as seniors who receive services through our Senior Services program, will be nominated and contacted about participating in the holiday Gifts of Love program.

NOVEMBER 2, 2026
Online adoption profiles open to the public.

The public may begin selecting gift recipients from the available online profiles. Early participation is encouraged, as there are a limited number of profiles available.

DECEMBER 1, 2026
Last day to adopt a Gifts of Love recipient from the online portal.

The online adoption portal closes at 4 p.m.

Client pick-up: December 7-17

Donors may drop off new, unwrapped gifts during Dec 7-11. As gifts are received, clients will be contacted to arrange a time to pick up their presents.
