Smiles – Up Next

Holiday 2025, Up Next:

This winter, we are excited to collaborate again this year with The Guild for Human Services for our 2025 Holiday Smiles Project!

The Guild for Human Services provides educational, residential, and clinical programs to more than 140 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities each year. Many of the youth and adults they support spend the holidays at Guild residences and depend on the organization to receive holiday gifts. We’re seeking your help to make sure every member of The Guild community can share in the season’s joy, with gifts to open regardless of income or living situation.

If you’d like to contribute, we maintain wish lists with specific holiday requests—contact us for details. Items range from fidget toys, weighted blankets, and art supplies to a variety of fun gifts. Monetary donations are also welcome; we will purchase wish list items with all contributions (PayPal link below). Our goal is to fulfill wish lists for 55 individuals — thank you in advance for your generosity.

We’re honored to partner with this wonderful organization and deeply grateful to the many generous donors who bring these Smiles to life each year. Thank you to everyone who supports this effort
