"This year was so hard on us financially - this holiday season was not in the budget at all. But thanks to you, my daughter got gifts and her holiday spirit wasn't broken! I cried the whole ride home. I'm still in disbelief. Thank you for all you did for me and my family!!!"
We hear it every year - parents who want to give their kids a joyful season but don’t have the means.
Sharing the Joy connects those families with donors who shop directly from their wishlists.

The holidays are hard when money’s already tight.
That's why we offer this one-time program to help families experience joy this holiday season and introduce them to our Financial Wellness Counseling Program, so they can build the stability to have that joy year after year.

Sharing the Joy is open to families and donors in San Diego, CA and Washington State. Whether you’re applying for holiday support or signing up to give it, we can't wait to connect with you this holiday season!
Spread cheer this holiday season:
If the holidays feel more stressful than joyful, you’re not alone - and STEP can help. When you apply for Sharing the Joy, you’ll be matched with a donor who will shop directly from your family’s wishlist.
