A Precious Child collects donated new toys, gift cards and gifts for children (babies through teenagers) in the most need in the community. Gifts are distributed to children through our Resource Center as well as our agency partners.

During the holidays, we rely on generous support from individuals, companies, churches and other organizations to ensure that each child is sponsored and receives something special.

With more than 250,000 children living in poverty in Colorado, it is no surprise that families struggle to provide holiday gifts for their children. The simple act of celebrating each and every child, despite their circumstances is what the Precious Gift program is all about.

Providing a gift to a child in need during celebratory life events allows them to experience the joys of childhood, give them hope for the future, as well as experiencing a sense of normalcy during a time in their life that is anything but normal.

As a designated essential organization, A Precious Child is on the frontlines, providing emergency essentials, such as hygiene items, cleaning supplies, diapers and wipes, clothing and other basic needs. These resources are vital to help limit the spread of COVID-19 and provide much needed relief to our most vulnerable population.

Last year alone, A Precious Child had a record-breaking year and provided holiday gifts to more than 13,221 children in need. With the effect of the pandemic, these children will need our support more than ever. The holidays are a special time for families and we want to make sure that every child is able to experience this time alongside their peers.

Together, we can provide these children with moments of joy when they need it the most.
