Angel Drop
Join us in spreading kindness and making this season a little brighter for these deserving families. Together, we can change lives—one family at a time.
This year, we are honored to support 80 families in the Saddleback Valley Unified School District. Each family has been identified by a dedicated Community Liaison or Student Champion who works closely with them, witnessing firsthand the challenges they face daily.
These families represent some of the most vulnerable in our community—individuals and caregivers doing everything they can to provide for their children under difficult circumstances.
Our families have stories of perseverance—single parents, families recovering from loss, caretakers supporting children with disabilities, and grandparents raising grandchildren on their own. Through Angel Drop, we have the opportunity to offer hope, joy, and relief to these families, ensuring they feel seen, supported, and cared for during the holiday season.
When asked, "Why do you believe we should select this family?" the answers we received reflect their resilience, love, and need for a helping hand:
A grandmother who stepped in to raise her four grandchildren after the heartbreaking loss of their mother.
A single mother who fled domestic violence with her children and spent an extended period living in their car while searching for safety and stability.
A family whose high school daughter is battling lupus and experiencing repeated hospitalizations, while her younger brother faces significant challenges associated with autism.
A hardworking mother juggling two jobs while sharing a single room with her three children, including one with special needs.
A family rebuilding their lives after a painful separation that brought an end to their family bakery business, leaving a mother struggling financially and a son deeply missing his father.
A family finally on the path to being reunited after a difficult year of separation and time spent in a shelter.
By adopting a family, you will provide personalized gifts and necessities tailored to their specific needs and circumstances. Your generosity can make a lasting impact, reminding them they are not alone in their struggles and giving them the gift of hope.
As an alternative to adopting a family, you have the option to purchase a gift card, which will be used to buy gifts for families that aren’t claimed at the end of the season.
