Share the Joy: Become a Holiday Host Family

🎄 Become a Holiday Host Family: Sponsor a Child in Need This Christmas

PASS Maryland is seeking compassionate families and individuals to help make the holidays brighter for children facing housing insecurity, financial hardship, or crisis in Central Maryland.

Through our Holiday Host Family Gift Sponsorship Program, you’ll be matched with a child or teen and provided with a short wish list. Your role is simple but powerful: purchase and wrap 2–3 meaningful gifts to be delivered in time for Christmas.

What We’re Asking:

• 🎁 Sponsor one or more children by purchasing 2–3 gifts from their wish list
• 🧸 Gifts typically range from $20–$30 each
• 🎀 Wrap and label gifts with the child’s name and age
• 📦 Drop off gifts at our designated location in Baltimore County

Who You’ll Be Helping: Children served by PASS Maryland’s wraparound programs—many of whom are newly housed, living in shelters, or navigating family instability. Your generosity brings joy, dignity, and a sense of belonging during a season that can be especially difficult.
