Holiday Gift Program

Share the love

For over 20 years, MSCA has hosted a holiday party for children and young adults ages 1 to 18 years old. Our goal is to make the holiday season a time of wonder and good cheer for every child and family member living with sickle cell disease.

Each year, as more and more children register for the holiday party, we want to make sure that all young people in attendance receive at least one great, exciting gift. And this depends on you and your generosity by supporting our Holiday Gift Program.

Child with toys

How It Works

We ask the public to provide gifts, gift cards or donations to get gift cards. Gifts of any amount will help and are deeply appreciated, but we do our best to make sure the average gift is $25 per child.

  • Donate unwrapped toys for youth ages 0-12 years of age

  • Donate gift cards for youth ages 13-18 years of age

What Gift Cards Should I Get?

Target and Walmart are great choices. Other popular gift cards are for Best Buy and Amazon gift cards.  Basically, any place you see teens shopping is great.

How Can I Help?

There are several ways to donate:

  • You can collect toys at your place of employment or organization. Call us to make arrangements for drop off or pick up.

  • Drop off gift card (s) at our office at 1803 Dorchester Ave, Dorchester, MA 02124
