Want to make a monetary donation?

When you make a $25 donation in support of our Holiday Gift-Giving Drive, you ensure a child we serve receives a special gift for the holidays.

Donations made by 12/1 will directly support the purchase of gifts for children and youth.  

Browse our Wishlists!

Wishlist Details

Individuals wishing to purchase gifts directly from the wishlists can browse our wishlists for our flagship sites in Little Village, North Lawndale, or Albany Park.

Note: These three locations are serving as our distribution centers and our goal is to reach all children and youth in our programs across the city. You can also make a financial donation and leave the shopping to us!

Join us for the season of giving!

The Carole Robertson Center for Learning relies on our closest partners to support our annual Holiday Gift-Giving Drive. Through your generosity, we ensure every child and youth enrolled in our Early Childhood Education and Youth Development programs receives a special gift for the holidays. For many families we serve, the joy of giving gifts is often dampened by the reality of limited resources. Join us and help make this season a little brighter!

Your donations will allow us to purchase items that will stock the Holiday Gift Shop, where parents can shop for free gifts for their children and have them wrapped while they shop. By offering donations as free gifts, our families can fully embrace the excitement of the holiday season and share the joy of gift-giving as a family.
