Get free Christmas gifts and food in Oregon.
No matter where you’re at in the state, resources could be available to help you with free Christmas gifts and food in Oregon. While we’ve found many national agencies, a few stand out that provide help in most areas. These national assistance programs likely have a local branch you can visit for help!
Salvation Army
Using their Angel Tree program, the Salvation Army might be able to help you get free gifts and food in Oregon. The programs work by allowing other people to choose which gifts to purchase from your child’s wishlist. They can obtain the lists from “Angel Trees.” This program is especially unique because it allows your child to make a wishlist of specific things they want.
Toys for Tots
The Toys for Tots from the U.S. Marines might be able to help you with toys for your children. They provide gender-specific toys and age-specific toys for kids in Oregon. You can click here to go to their website for more information, to locate your branch and qualify for the program.

I live in La Grande, Oregon. It’s a small town in Union County. If you could try to find possible resources for Christmas and Thanksgiving meal ingredients and routine vet care for emotional support animals, it would be great. There aren’t a lot of resources here. The few there that are here don’t do a good job at getting the word out.

Hi Margaret Turner,
I live in a small town, too, and it’s so hard to get resources in our area 🙁
I just added Union County to our research list for both Christmas help and vet help, though!

Hello there I live in Reedsport Oregon in Douglas county 97467. I have 2 little girls ages 3 and 4 and one little boy who is due 12-4-18. We have been struggling and trying to get by but times are really hard. And money is very tight I can’t even afford what I need to get for my kids cuz all the money that comes in gets put towards bills. Me and my little family could really use the help this year.

Destinee
Hello ,
we live in marion county. I am a single mom. I have twin daughters that are 11. we recently lost literally everything we own due to a robbery and a horrible legal system that let it happen. I’m currently out of work because of it as well. We lost everything clothes, shoes, toys, beds, washer and dryer, electronics, food, furniture you name it, it’s gone. On top of that our home was damaged to the tune of an $80,000 contractor bid. My little girls have had the best attitudes and been so understanding and wonderful through out all this nightmare. Even while we were homeless for a while because of this situation. I’m struggling to make my bills. Christmas is really stressing me. I don’t have the heart to tell them that there won’t be Christmas this year. They still believe in Santa. I really could use some help here. Are there any resources here in marion county oregon.
Thank you so much.
