Offering Hope & Helping Hand This Christmas
A Christmas Foundation that Brings Happiness to Homeless.
These are the things that define Christmas for many of us. But for some in our community, the holidays can be a stark reminder of hardship and loneliness. This year, let’s open our hearts with christmas foundation and extend a helping hand to those experiencing homelessness.
GIVING IS NOT JUST A CHRISTMAS DINNER FOR HOMELESS; IT’S ABOUT CONTRIBUTING TOWARDS CREATING A CHANGE
Every year, the holidays can be a stark reminder of the struggles faced by many in our communities. The Christmas People Foundation provides not just Christmas dinner for homeless but also works tirelessly to offer a beacon of hope and warmth to those experiencing adversity, either if they are veterans in need or seniors facing isolation. This season, you can be a part of spreading Christmas cheer and making a real difference in someone’s life. It totally depends on you whether you want to contribute a few dollars or a significant amount. Every donation brings us closer to our goal of offering a helping hand to those in need.

Donate socks to Homeless
The Christmas People Foundation donate socks to homeless by directly working with the wholesalers. We provide basic necessities in bulk, maximizing the impact of your donation. Just $100 can provide 100 pairs of socks or 50 warm hats, offering essential comfort and protection during the cold winter months.
Christmas feeding homeless
A core part of our mission is Christmas feeding the homeless with a warm and delicious meal. You can join us in spreading holiday cheer by donating to purchase essential items, lending a hand with meal prep and delivery, or even baking cookies to share.
Christmas Dinner Seattle Feast
The Christmas People Foundation is dedicated to ensuring no one goes hungry. We place Christmas Dinner in Seattle throughout the year, where we source provisions in bulk – beans, rice, coffee, peanut butter, and more – at discounted rates to supply shelters and food banks.
The Gift of Giving is calling you…
As a Nonprofit Board Member with The Christmas People Foundation, I see firsthand the struggles faced by our homeless neighbors, veterans, and seniors every single day. The holidays can be an especially difficult time, a season that often accentuates the harsh realities of living on the streets or feeling isolated. Remember, the spirit of Christmas isn’t just about receiving gifts; it’s about the joy of giving. There are many ways to get involved with The Christmas People Foundation. You can donate funds to help us purchase essential items, volunteer your time to help prepare and deliver meals, or even bake cookies to share.

Our Volunteers Make A Difference
When the song of the angels is stilled,
When the star in the sky is gone,
When the kings and princes are home,
When the shepherds are back with their flock,
To find the lost,
To heal the broken,
To feed the hungry,
To release the prisoner,
To rebuild the nations,
To bring peace among people,
To make music in the heart.

Frequently Asked Questions
Every donation, big or small, truly makes a world of difference. We work directly with wholesalers to buy items like socks and Blessing Bag essentials in bulk, which means your contribution stretches further and helps more people.
While that delicious Christmas dinner in Seattle is a highlight, we’re all about year-round support. We work with shelters and food banks to keep their pantries stocked with beans, rice, coffee, and other essentials throughout the year. So, your contribution helps fill bellies all winter long, not just on Christmas Day!
We rely on amazing volunteers like you to make our mission a reality! There are tons of ways to get involved: helping with Christmas prep, cooking that yummy dinner, or even delivering meals. If cooking isn’t your thing, you could join our cookie-baking crew or help assemble Blessing Bags. Every hour you give makes a big difference!
Hey, every bit counts! Even a small donation can go a long way when we buy in bulk. Plus, volunteering your time is just as valuable. The spirit of giving is what truly matters, and every act of kindness brings a smile to someone’s face.
