Bring Joy to a Child This Christmas

Christmas should be a season of hope and happiness – but for many families in New Jersey, it’s a struggle. Parents are forced to choose between paying bills and giving their children the Christmas they deserve. Too often, that means no gifts under the tree and no holiday meal to share.

You can change that.

Through The Salvation Army’s Children’s Christmas Fund, every child registered in our Angel Tree and Adopt-A-Family programs receives a gift and every family experiences the warmth of the season. Last year, more than 10,000 families turned to us for help – and this year, the need is even greater.

Join our Joy Makers!

Our goal is to raise $100,000 to make Christmas possible for thousands of children. Every gift matters – of any size – but we’re inviting 100 Joy Makers to give $1,000 each. Your generosity will deliver smiles, hope, and JOY when it’s needed most.

Will you be a Joy Maker this Christmas?
