This holiday season, UConn Health is collecting gift donations for teenages (13+). We are partnering with the Department of Children and Family Services, who rarely receives donations for teens, to help ensure no child goes without holiday magic this season. Participation is voluntary.
Who: Children 13 years and older who reside in DCF custody
What: New, unwrapped items for teens
When: Donations must be purchased or dropped off by Dec. 10.
Where: We encourage you to use Amazon Gift List, which contains gift ideas from DCF and ships directly to them. You can also contact boxwell@uchc.edu to coordinate donation drop off.
Why: Teens in DCF custody often receive nothing for the holidays. All children deserve to feel special this holiday season.
