​We'd like to share an important update about our holiday gift program so that you have plenty of time to plan for the upcoming season.

​

After 25 meaningful years of spreading holiday cheer through our All Wrapped Up program, Bergen Volunteers will be retiring the program and introducing a new, reimagined holiday gift giving program in Fall 2025. This new effort will focus on providing essential, needs-based items rather than fulfilling individual wish lists.

​

We know this change marks the end of a meaningful chapter, and this decision was not made lightly. But we believe this new approach will allow us to expand our reach in new, more impactful ways—engaging more volunteers, strengthening partnerships, and responding more directly to critical community needs.

​

We know many of you have made All Wrapped Up part of your holiday tradition and we deeply appreciate your commitment to supporting local families. While our program is evolving, there are still opportunities for donors to be matched with wish lists from individuals or families in need. Below are trusted organizations that offer personalized holiday gift matching and would be glad to partner with you this season:

​

• Flames of Giving

  Contact: flamesofgiving@gmail.com

​

• Toys for Tots
  Website: www.toysfortots.org
  Contact: 973-724-3326 or dover.nj@toysfortots.org

​

Thank you for your support and generosity. We’re grateful to have you as part of the Bergen Volunteers community. If you’d like to continue being matched with a wish list this year, we encourage you to connect with the organizations listed above. We’ll be in touch closer to the holiday season with updates on our new holiday giving program launching in Fall 2025, and we look forward to continuing this important work together in a new and meaningful way.
