How can a family learn about the current season?
The official 2026 family application is open. Arizona households must include someone with autism; low-income households receive priority, though other income levels are not automatically disqualified. There is no fixed deadline. Applying does not guarantee selection, a particular gift or a complete wish list.
What makes the support personal?
Understanding a child’s interests, communication and sensory needs helps the Foundation plan appropriate support. Families should follow the current application instructions about requested items and important considerations. Specific brands, high-cost items and complete wish lists are not promised.
How can supporters participate?
Businesses, churches, community groups and individuals can ask about current sponsorship, giving, volunteer and in-kind opportunities. Coordinate with the Foundation before collecting items, announcing a drop-off site or promising participation to a family. The 2026 campaign goal is to support at least 60 children.
Where can I find confirmed details?
Use the official 2026 family application linked on this page. The form explains privacy, eligibility, verification and pickup requirements. Do not send medical records, Social Security numbers, banking details, IDs or tax documents.
Planning for this season
Families throughout Arizona may apply if they can arrange pickup at the designated South Phoenix location. The exact pickup address, date and time will be announced. Wait for direct confirmation before making travel plans.
Take the next step
Submit one application per household. For language assistance, an accessible way to apply, or help listing more than five people, contact the Foundation team. Use Get Involved to ask about volunteering, giving or sponsorship.
