You can make a real difference this Holiday season!  October 22, 2026

The holidays should be a time of joy, connection, and making special memories, but for families facing financial challenges, this time of year can also bring added stress. Your generosity helps ease that burden, allowing children and families to experience the magic of the season and enjoy the traditions and special moments every child deserves.

Help Make the Holidays Special at WCS!

By donating items from our gift card wishlist or making a monetary contribution to our Holiday Giving Fund, you can make a meaningful difference in the lives of Waterford Country School children and families.

Gift cards from Walmart, Target, and Stop & Shop help families purchase gifts, food, and other holiday essentials. For families facing financial challenges, your generosity can make the holiday season brighter and help create special memories that last a lifetime.

At WCS, we strive to make holidays and birthdays special for our children throughout the year. This holiday season, we want to make it more memorable than ever!

Thanks to your generosity last year, we were able to provide:

  • Gifts for teens
  • Toys and gifts for our students
  • Gift cards for teens in our shelter program to shop for themselves
  • Holiday food care packages for 16 families in need
  • Games, sports equipment, and craft supplies for our students

Help Us Spread Holiday Cheer Early!

We’re starting early so we can provide additional support to families in time for Thanksgiving.

  • Thanksgiving gift cards: Please send to the Development Office by November 12th.
  • All other gift card donations: Please send to the Development Office by December 10th  for distribution.
