Cloverdale Community Kitchen

Teens are often the ones most easily overlooked at Christmas — and this year, we are supporting 626 teens and 1,431 children across our community. We are so thankful for every toy, every gift card, and every donation that has already been given — your generosity has already brought so much hope to so many families.

This year, we are seeing more people in need and fewer people with the ability to give, and that reality has made this season especially tender. With overall toy donations being lighter than usual, we are reaching out with open hearts and a gentle ask: if you have any wiggle room to help this Christmas, your kindness could mean everything to a teen or child who might otherwise go without.

Right now, our biggest needs include:
🎁 New toys
🎟️ Teen gift cards ($50 Happy Teen Gift Cards)
💛 Financial gifts to help us purchase what we’re short on

Every gift — big or small — helps ensure that each child and teen feels seen, valued, and remembered this Christmas. Thank you for being the kind of community that shows up with compassion and care.

✨ Drop-off locations & times:
• Dec 11–12 (Thurs–Fri), 9:00am–4:00pm
