Every child deserves a joyful childhood.

The small moments many of us remember most—finding an Easter basket waiting for us, carrying a brand-new backpack into school, bundling up in a warm winter coat or waking up to gifts on Christmas morning—help shape childhood. For children experiencing abuse or neglect, those moments are often interrupted by trauma and instability.

Community Partners of Dallas' seasonal drives help restore those experiences. Together, our community ensures thousands of children across Dallas County receive new, age-appropriate items that provide comfort, confidence and the simple joy of feeling like a kid.
