What is Kids’ Voice?
Kids’ Voice is a nonprofit organization that protects children’s best interests through advocacy and education. Our mission is grounded in the belief that every child deserves a voice in the decisions that impact their life. We advocate for children in the Marion County court system who have experienced abuse, neglect, or family instability. We ensure they are safe, their voices are heard, and their needs are met. Our services support children involved in the child welfare and legal systems, including those in foster care, guardianship cases, and families who need supervised parenting time.

Who are the children receiving gifts? The wish lists come from children served through our programs. These children are involved in Marion County family court cases due to abuse, neglect, or other challenging family court situations.

Can I sponsor more than one child’s wish list? Yes! Many supporters choose to sponsor multiple wish lists or coordinate with friends, family, or coworkers to make an even bigger impact. This year, we’ve added the option to sponsor a household’s full wish list. Look for categories labeled Family of 2, Family of 3, and so on to find these. 

How much should I spend on a wish list? We recommend each child’s wish list totals $100–$150.

Can I buy second-hand electronics for a child’s wish list? Yes. Certified refurbished electronics are welcome as long as they’re tested and working, and they often come with a warranty. If you have a gently used device of your own, like a cell phone, you can donate it to Kids’ Voice for our IT team to refurbish and give to a child later. It won’t be tied to a specific wish list, but it will still be put to good use.

I just completed my checkout and I’m ready to start shopping! When will I receive the full wish list details? After you complete checkout, you’ll receive the full wish list(s) by email within one business day (Monday–Friday). This email will include all item details, sizes, and delivery instructions. Please note this is a manual process, and we’ll get your wish list(s) to you as quickly as possible.

What if I can’t find an exact item from the wish list? Feel free to choose something similar, or include a gift card so the child can pick it out later. For items like clothing or shoes, we recommend including a gift receipt in case an exchange is needed.

When and where do I drop off gifts? Drop off your gifts on Saturday, December 6 from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. at FlexPAC (6075 Lakeside Blvd., Indianapolis, IN 46278). If you cannot make this date, you may drop off at the Kids' Voice office Monday, December 8 – Thursday, December 11, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. For alternate hours, email development@kidsvoicein.org

Do the gifts need to be wrapped? We ask that gifts remain unwrapped, but you’re welcome to include wrapping paper, gift bags, or tissue paper so caregivers can wrap them.

I want to help, but don’t have time to shop. Can I still contribute? Yes! You can donate directly to our Holiday Gift Drive fund. Your financial donation helps us purchase items from wish lists and stock our Youth Enrichment Closet, where staff can select gifts for children whose wish lists go unmatched or who enter care after our deadline.
