As the year draws to a close and the holiday season fills the air with warmth and joy, Orchard Place encourages you to keep in mind the Iowa families facing challenges in providing gifts for their children this season.
Hear from Christina Rodriguez, Orchard Place School-Based Supervisor, on how you can make a difference in a child’s life this holiday season. Holiday Drive: a Therapist's Perspective
For the past ten years, the Orchard Place Holiday Drive has created joyful holiday memories for thousands of youths and families, bringing happiness and countless smiles. “They told me, ‘This is all for you!’ I was so shocked,” shared a grateful parent. “As we walked the gifts out to my vehicle, I couldn’t contain the tears. Our hearts are overwhelmed!”
Continue on this journey of developing strong futures for Iowa’s youth by supporting the 2024 Holiday Drive.
Shop for a Child: Each child’s list includes two needs and one want. The total cost to provide all three items averages $75. This can include a pair of shoes, a coat, pants, toys and more.
