I am sure that you are having a hard time right now and that is why you are asking this question. My family went through a hard time and we went to the Salvation army. My children had each gotten an outfit and like 2 toys and some stocking stuffers. They also helped provide us with the fixings for us to make our Christmas dinner. My husband was real sick and was out of work and we had 5 children who at the time all believed in Santa. Well my youngest wasn't one yet so she didn't really know but our oldest was 7 so he was excited about Santa. I hope things get better for you and your family. I would definetly check out the Salvation Army. You can always help volunteer some of your time there by filling boxes and ring the bell at the door.

Check with the Salvation Army and ask them what other programs are available in your area. We have several that do free presents. Salvation Army helped a lot when our family was having trouble. My kids got more gifts that they would normally have gotten from us.

I would contact a local church or even an elementary school. Sometimes elementary schools have toy drives. Or a highschool, the honor society might do some kind of drive. My high school raised $20,000 one year for needy families at Christmas.

Check the United Way they have a list of churches that give away toys.

I dont know about where to get free presents from. Can you get a Hoilday job to bring in some extra income. They are hiring at a lot of places right now, and if it's retail you usually get a good discount.

I dont know where you live of course but where I live they have angel tree it is where ppl put their kids names on paper and turn them into our church and then get passed out to anyone who wants to help and they buy the things needed. If you ahve any omore questions just let me know.
