Jingled Elves has been an absolute game-changer for fostering success in Collier County! Their commitment to providing foster children with over 425 hours of free tutoring is nothing short of remarkable. Thanks to their dedication and support, these children are not only excelling in school but also gaining the confidence and skills they need to thrive in every aspect of their lives. Jingled Elves’ impact on our community is immeasurable, and we are incredibly grateful for their unwavering support in helping these children reach their full potential

Youth Haven provides Home, Hope, and Healing to local children and teens who have been removed from their homes due to abuse, neglect, and homelessness. Due to the increased trauma experienced by these youth, we have expanded our programs and services to aid in their healing. Our ability to do this is only possible with the invaluable support of our community partners, such as Jingled Elves.

The funding we receive from Jingled Elves has supported various projects, including providing living room furniture for our cottages to create a more home-like environment, offering clothing for those who arrive with just the clothes on their backs, and renovating closets to give residents space to store their items.

The Jingled Elves are a wonderful asset to our community, spreading joy and holiday cheer. We at Youth Haven are grateful and honored to be a recipient of their generosity.

The Jingled Elves grant allowed us to purchase age-appropriate classroom supplies that we lacked and allowed us to open this classroom sooner than anticipated.

The generosity of the Jingled Elves is transforming the lives of our After-school Tutoring students. By providing daily transportation home from the program, you are breaking down barriers so these students can access endless opportunities to make their futures infinitely more positive. Because of this transportation, our students participate in tutoring, homework help and character-building activities to close the achievement gap and build upon a foundation for future learning.

Thank you for all of the hard work, planning and consideration that went into making grants possible for organizations like ours. We are beyond grateful to receive the support and look forward to spreading the cheer of the Jingled Elves all year long!

NAMI Collier’s children’s mental health program (HUGS) was referred to help a boy with years of trauma from abuse once in his home. His mom and siblings are safe now, but his anxiety and other diagnoses allowed for a calming area in his classroom. As the school year was ending – some third graders were counting down the days to summer while others have increased anxiety of how they will cope without the resources they have at school. A classroom calming area – a place to breathe, a place to help control bumpy feelings, a place to feel safe and a chance to begin again. Due to the generous support our team member replicated the child’s calming area that has worked at school this year to his home. His new comfy chair that is now his own, calming visuals on the wall that he’s familiar with and a space that can help de-escalate and help prevent his disruptive behavior and emotions was delivered to his home. Really no words to really describe how funds for a comfy chair, laminating visuals, calming items could impact a family and the summer that lies ahead. As many families are planning summer plans – this family that you and your amazing elves supported – has planned a sense of calm and a toolbox for a summer of less anxiety and stress.
Thank you for all you do – each of you – Christmas in June ❤️💚

We are so grateful for the help from our wonderful supporters of Jingled Elves!  Laces of Love has been able to help over 350 children in need.

Your donation has created smiles on many faces in the schools and shelters who help distribute the new shoes to the most in need.  Pictured is a young man in his wheel chair. He was so happy he wanted to hold his shoes and hug them!

New shoes do make a big difference to a child in great need. New Shoes will help create confidence in a child, build their self esteem and give them the feeling of acceptance. Thank you Donna and your fabulous  JINGLED ELVES!

The generous grant from the Jingled Elves helps advance our mission to provide diapers and kindness to even more hardworking, low-income families in our community who do not receive government assistance, specifically those who are enrolled in our program located at the St. Elizabeth Seton Church campus in Golden Gate, which we have named in honor of the Jingled Elves!

We now provide diapers to more than 600 babies each month, and with the cost of diapers up 30% in the past year (and still rising) we are certainly putting these funds to good use and changing lives, one diaper at a time!

Thank you so much to Donna, Linda, Laura, Harleigh, Sue, and all the other dancing elves, volunteers, and supporters for helping us grow and keep our commitment to the precious babies who need us! Many babies and their families will have better health and a brighter future, thanks to all of you!
