This may sound unbelievable, but annually there are more abused and neglected children in Massachusetts than there are seats at Fenway Park. Many of these children come through our doors every day at The Home for Little Wanderers. We provide these kids with a safe and nurturing place to live. We restore their hope and teach them the coping skills they need to overcome trauma and move on to productive lives in our community.

The Home for Little Wanderers is the oldest child services agency in the nation and the largest in New England, with roots dating back to the 1700's and Abigail Adams. Given the current financial climate, The Home is facing significant budget cuts at a time when the demand for our services is actually increasing. Tragically, the stress families are feeling too often manifests itself through child abuse. Your support this year is critical to helping the children have a joyful holiday season.

Your gift donation to Big Wishes for Little Wanderers helps make the holidays brighter for the thousands of children and families The Home serves annually. Our goal is to ensure that every child in The Home's programs has a gift to open this Holiday Season.

Please begin by choosing a gift category from the menu on the left to view the current items requested for donation. The items in this website were requested by The Home's children, program leaders and staff members. As you browse the product descriptions, add the item(s) for donation to your shopping cart. Then, follow the instructions to place your donation order.

*Your gift will be shipped free of charge to The Home for wrapping and distribution to the children and programs. If you have chosen a gift to be used in a group setting, such as a computer, TV, program use digital camera, rec room furniture, or therapy item, these gifts will be delivered in early January to the programs that requested them.

On behalf of The Home for Little Wanderers, we thank you for your kindness and generosity, and we wish you a very happy holiday season!
