-> UPDATED <-

Sometimes, Florida families need a little help with free Christmas gifts and food. Life happens to all of us. A layoff, an illness, a recent move, a major repair or any unexpected expense can make it impossible to afford the extra gifts and food to celebrate the holiday season.

Fortunately, there are agencies that can help. We’re dedicated to helping low income families all across America get the help they need to enjoy their holidays. If you need help in a different state, you can click here to find help in your area.

Get free Christmas gifts and food in Florida!

There are some agencies that provide assistance to the majority of the state. No matter where you are located, you can reach out to your local branch for assistance.

Salvation Army

The Salvation Army provides holiday meals, toys, clothing and more to low income families. If you’re going to need a little (or a lot) of help this holiday season, contact the Salvation Army right away. You can visit their website to find your local chapter. 

Toys for Tots

Most areas of the US are also served by the Marine’s Toys for Tots campaign. To participate, you’ll need to visit their official website. 

Get free Christmas gifts and food in your local Florida county!

You’ll find the best help in your local area. It’s usually the local food banks, Churches and Community Action agencies that provide the best assistance. In order to get the help your family needs, you’ll want to select your county from the list below.

If you don’t see your county in this list, just leave a comment on this page and let me know. I’ll forward your request to one of our researchers and we’ll get that information for you as quickly as possible.

      • I am so sorry to have actually just seen this on my history and realized someone was out there to help my family…my apologies! We did manage to get the a couple things but we taught them this last Christmas about that’s it not about the gifts and taught them that family is really what it’s about! The help would of been so greatly appreciated and helpful lol but I think this was meant for me to see after the holiday to teach a valuable lesson that even tho they may have not had everything “they” wanted on their lists but thy were always remember it was the lesson we gave them that year 😉 and we are still living paycheck to paycheck and times are still a struggle …in all honestly I would love to be able to find a charity or a spot where they may help children with clothes …my oldest is in high school and they don’t wear uniform lol had no ideas the cost of some of the “in” clothing these days lolol…but again thank you so much for reaching out and may god bless you !!!! We are in Polk county Florida 😉

  35. Thank you so much for helping the community! I’m inquiring about your program because unfortunately, my better half (Jesse) lost his job a couple of months ago. His unemployment has run out. Although he has always worked as a Healthcare Director, he had to take a temporary position for the holidays working nights at the USPS warehouse in Lakeland. Its a blessing! We are struggling! He starts orientation tomorrow, but his first check will not be in, in time for the holidays. He’s actively searching for a FT position. I am disabled and have been waiting on my Social Security to be approved, it’s a long process. I became disabled 3 years ago, I also worked in Healthcare as a Director of Human Resources prior to this. We have depleted our savings, all that we had just trying to keep our head above water. Thankfully we have been blessed, our mortgage company has been working with us. We have faith that we can make it through this! Our eldest, birthday was 2 weeks ago. We couldn’t afford to give him a present. It was hard, especially because he is doing so well in school. So we are worried about Christmas. Although we teach them that who’s around the tree is more important then whats under the tree, kids are kids… Christmas is big for them. I hope there is something your program can do to bring a little Christmas cheer to our home. We live in Lake county and I didn’t see them posted. The toys for tots list closed the last week of November and I didn’t make it in time! Do you know of any other resources? Our little ones are 13, 6 and 3. Also, we could really use help with toiletries and utilities! Thank you and God Bless!

  37. Hello, I’m not seeing any assistance for Lake County… I’m a single mom of 3 wonderful kids that could really appreciate some help with Christmas this year. I know it’s last minute, but I thought I would have been able to make something happen. Please help…

    • Lee County is not on your list of county’s. My son and I have Medicaid and we receive food stamps. I just lost my job yesterday (I even have a text to prove it). My cellphone is most likely going to be turned off tomorrow and the check I sent out for rent bounced. I’ve been receiving calls everyday from credit collects and from LCEC. I don’t know what to do and unfortunately christmas is Wednesday. I desperately need help.
