Why it Matters

"My dad died before I was born and my mom couldn't care for me, so I went to a foster home. I didn't know who Santa Claus was because we never had Christmas or anything like that."
--Brooke, age 9

“What's Christmas like in a foster home? No fun. One year, my gift was a pair of socks and a tube of toothpaste.”
--Jason

Our Mission

This holiday season, Children's Action Network is launching SantaCAN—a unique gift drive for Los Angeles foster youth and we are asking for your help to ensure that this is a wonderful time for these children by making sure they each receive their most wished for gift from a wish list they compiled. The best part is, you can do all of your shopping online… simply click here, purchase a present and it will be on its way to that special child you have chosen! Thank you for bringing giant smiles to the faces of hundreds of foster children in Los Angeles.

*All gifts need to be received by
Thursday, December 20th.

Special Requests

We have a few unique wishes like Lakers tickets and an alto saxophone. Please contact CAN at 310.470.9599 if you are interested in fulfilling these special requests.
