Since 2014, Catholic donors have provided over 750,000 gift-filled boxes—spreading Christmas joy and faith to children in countries like the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Honduras, and beyond. Hear how you, your parish, or your school can be part of this year’s campaign and bring the joy of Christ to children across the globe.
