Hope For The Holidays 2026

About This Event

The Foundation is thrilled to support families through the Emergency Services Coalition of St. Johns County (ESHC) again this holiday season. These children and their families are struggling with homelessness and are working together to get back on their feet. We'd like to ensure they have a joyous holiday as they endure this trying season in their lives and you can help!  

ESHC offers transitional housing for these families who are wanting to help themselves. Participant parent(s) must seek job training, employment, continuing education, assessment counseling and permanent housing. Residents stay anywhere from 3-24 months while working to independently provide for their family.  

Each adopted family provides a "wish list" which we take with us to Kohl's on December 19th (our shopping day!). We stay within the budget set by ESHC ($100 per person), shop for each family and secretly delivering to ESHC where the gifts will be left for each family to open on Christmas morning.  TFF will purchase ALL of the gifts at Kohl's on shopping day. 

Details for our shopping day are listed below.  

Date: Saturday, December 19, 2026

Where: Kohl's -13760 Old St. Augustine Road  Jacksonville, FL 32258 

Shopping: 9:00-11:00 am 

Attire: You’re welcome to wear your best holiday cheer gear! 

Ages: All ages welcome. We encourage you to bring your kids to learn about giving back! 

Optional: To make a financial contribution to our Hope for the Holidays program click the "Donate" button above. 

All financial contributions will go directly toward purchasing gifts on our shopping day!
