Holiday Giving

Check back for CFI’s 2021 Adopt-A-Family program.

Holiday Shop

The Holiday shop is currently closed for the season. Check back for information about the Foundation for Children & Families of Iowa’s 2021 holiday giving program.

Items donated are utilized for CFI programs and current clients that are not participating in our Adopt-A-Family program. As the holiday’s approach and stress levels increase so does the need for CFI’s domestic violence shelter/outreach and other services. Many of these families started receiving services after the sign-up date had passed for our Adopt-A-Family program. The ability for these moms, dads, and caretakers to have access to these items will relieve some of the stress and allow them to experience the holidays as everyone else does in a safe environment full of smiles and happiness.

This program allows these clients to choose gifts for their kids and family, get cleaning supplies and household items, and replenish their pantry with nonperishable food thus alleviating some of their struggles during the holiday season. There will also be a wrapping station available for the families to wrap their gifts.

Host a Toy Drive for CFI

CFI clients not eligible for the Adopt-A-Family program are able to utilize access to the Toy Room where parents and guardians can pick out gifts (up to three per) for their children. Gather your friends, co-workers, club members, neighbors, or family and host a toy drive to put warm smiles on the littlest faces that CFI serves! Most needed gifts include: toys and gift items for children ages 12-18 years of age, Barbies, dolls, educational toys, infant and toddler toys, and sports equipment and apparel.
