As winter approaches, we invite you to join us in making this season easier for the families we serve. By contributing to the Winter Drive you help families in our community get the items they need and gifts to help make their winter brighter.
New this year is our Iris Giving Tree, adopt a family program. Our team will pair you with a family who receives services from Iris Family Support Center to purchase the family gifts this holiday season.
To view a complete list of donation ideas, please click on the Winter Drive Gift List button at the bottom of the page or visit the link to the Amazon Wish List.
We ask that all donated items are new, nonviolent (no toys with weapons) and have no religious content, including reference to Christmas. Donated items can be dropped off at Iris’s office located at 500 West Main Street, Fort Wayne, IN 46802. Deadline to donate items to this year’s Winter Drive is Thursday, November 19th.
Please consider one of these options to donate this holiday season:
