ELDF Holiday Giving brings families, schools, community organizations, volunteers, donors, and practical resources into one coordinated annual program—so help can move with dignity, clear communication, and accountable follow-through.
Checking current Holiday Giving dates and availability…
Whether you are seeking assistance, representing a school or community organization, or looking for a meaningful way to help, ELDF keeps each pathway connected to the same coordinated program.
When registration opens, parents and guardians will be able to complete a secure family application directly or through a participating school or community partner.
Schools, childcare programs, churches, nonprofits, and community organizations can help connect families to the program and support local distribution.
Use your own email to sign in. ELDF must approve your organization access first; creating a personal account does not grant it.
Holiday support takes more than toys. Donors, companies, volunteers, and community partners can help fund, move, store, organize, and distribute resources.
The public experience stays straightforward while ELDF coordinates identity, eligibility review, supply allocation, pickup scheduling, and distribution through its existing systems.
A parent or guardian submits the family application through ELDF or a participating partner referral.
ELDF verifies completeness, consent, campaign requirements, and possible duplicate registrations before approval.
Approved demand is matched to available resources and a household pickup plan when supply is available.
Families receive clear pickup information and a secure household pass when their distribution is ready.
ELDF Holiday Giving is being designed around data minimization, parent-controlled registration, secure access, and careful duplicate review.
A vehicle for a pickup run, temporary secure storage, volunteers for distribution, or a corporate toy drive can solve operational gaps that funding alone cannot.
Sign in to MyELDF to check the current campaign and registration availability. Existing families can continue to view their application and confirmed pickup details after new registration closes.
No. Registration or approval does not guarantee a particular item, quantity, value, or fulfillment. Distribution depends on the annual program rules and resources actually available to ELDF.
Approved school representatives can use their own MyELDF sign-in to upload a CSV or Excel roster, including large school lists. Download the template, enter one child per row, and use the same family reference for siblings. ELDF reviews the information and required permissions before registration is completed. Families can also apply directly.
Holiday Giving family self-service is being connected to My ELDF, the Foundation's existing secure constituent portal. ELDF will activate the Holiday-specific status and pickup experience only after that shared integration is ready.
Yes. Depending on current program needs, ELDF may coordinate approved in-kind contributions, volunteer teams, transportation, storage, or other operational support. Contact ELDF so the contribution can be coordinated before delivery.
External partners and supply sources may vary by year. ELDF will not represent a formal affiliation, use another organization's protected branding, or promise externally supplied resources unless the applicable participation and branding permissions are actually in place.
Families can return here for official registration updates. Schools, organizations, volunteers, and supporters can start a conversation with ELDF now.
