🎄Make the Holidays Magical for Children in Our Housing Programs 🎁

This holiday season, you can help brighten the lives of children in AIDS Alabama’s 2025 Holiday Wish Program. For many of the children we serve, the items on their wish lists are things most kids take for granted and may not receive without your support.

✨Team Up and Share the Joy✨
Most wish lists range from $200 to $250. You can sponsor a child on your own or join with friends, family, or coworkers to contribute together. Every gift, in any amount, makes a difference.

Your generosity does more than provide presents. It reminds each child that they are seen, valued, and not forgotten during the holidays.
