WRAPPED IN HOPE 2026

Give Your Time. Share the Joy. Make a Difference.

Minematters Foundation Inc., a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Plano, Texas, is seeking passionate, dependable, and community-minded volunteers for our upcoming Wrapped in Hope 2026 Holiday Toy Giveaway.

This holiday season, we are working to bring joy, hope, and meaningful support to approximately 100 to 200 children and families across Plano, McKinney, Celina, and surrounding Collin County communities.

As an approved Toys for Tots recipient, Minematters Foundation Inc. is preparing a special holiday celebration where children and families can experience the joy of the season, connect with their community, and receive holiday gifts.

As the number of children and families we serve continues to grow each year, so does the need for community support. While we are grateful to receive toys through Toys for Tots, we are still actively seeking additional donations, sponsorships, and in-kind contributions to make this celebration possible. Our needs include food, beverages, music, entertainment, children's activities, decorations, additional toys, and other resources that will help create a fun and memorable holiday experience.

We are especially looking for volunteers who can help us connect with local businesses, restaurants, entertainment providers, and community organizations willing to contribute to this special event.

Outreach activities can begin before the event.
