OLGC Mission of Hope 2026 Wish List

Serving our Haitian community with compassion, dignity, and hope

❤️ Top Priority Christmas Gifts for Children

• Children’s Underwear (Ages 3–14) — Our #1 item again; these made the children’s Christmas last year.
• Baseball Caps (Goal: 600 hats) New or used; essential protection from the hot sun.
• Small Stuffed Animals — New or used (nothing too large) beanie baby or similar sizing helps us save space to ensure we have enough space for each child to receive one at Christmas.          
• Baby Dolls — Any type but darker skin tones preferred not required.
• Educational Toys (non‑English) — Large piece puzzles, matching games, building toys such as Jenga or rubix cube, Barbies, Matchbox cars, UNO, etc.
• Soccer Balls & Basketballs (Goal: 300) To reach older students and children living on the streets. Last year, we were able to give one for each child in the younger school.        We’d love to support the children a bit older this year.
