Not sure what the children at Red Door Family Shelter would like this holiday season? We’ve got you covered with The Wishing Tree! 
Avoid the four stages of gift-giving—“I think they’ll like this!” “I think they’ll like this?!” “Will they like this?” “I hope they like this.”—and remove all the guesswork.
Each child staying in our shelter has written their wish, and we’ve added these heartfelt notes to our Wishing Tree. By choosing a wish to grant, you’ll make holiday dreams come true while keeping your gift-giving stress-free.
