Doll Program
Since 1924, carefully and imaginatively dressed dolls have been included in holiday gift boxes given to little girls ages 4–9. Over the years, thousands of devoted volunteers have creatively dressed tens of thousands of dolls for deserving young ladies.

Package Assembly
Assembling 30,000 holiday gift boxes broken down into 20 categories and age groups takes organization and the help of many. This is usually done in October. We are always looking for willing hands to help us with this important step in making sure the children have a gift to open for the holiday. If you or your company would like to donate a day to be part of the most amazing assembly line in the city, contact Sari Klok-Schneider at 586-775-6139 or via email.
