A Christmas outreach from Hope for San Diego—supporting families with warmth, dignity, and love.

About Our Mission
Comfort and Joy is a Christmas outreach from Hope for San Diego. We partner with trusted local organizations to bring warmth, dignity, and thoughtful gifts to families and individuals in need during the holiday season.



Intentional Gifting That Makes a Difference
Our HFSD affiliates compile a specific list of needs from some of the most vulnerable families in their communities. With this insider knowledge, we're better able to meet those requests. This intentional gifting is a great opportunity to invite others into the process — shop with your kids, partner, or community group!
Help Families Celebrate Christmas
Whether they've experienced a medical emergency, a housing crisis, or a lost job during the year, many of our neighbors can't afford a Christmas celebration for their households this winter.
We're changing that, one gift at a time.
Hope for San Diego acts as the bridge between you and families most in need this holiday season.
We'll collect the specific gift items from each family, and send you a list of their top requests so you can shop for the items they truly want.

Making an Impact Together
Last year, hundreds of you shopped for more than 250 families at Christmas — gifting not just clothes, soccer balls, and barbies, but hope as well.
Join us this year as we gift hope to families on the margins!
