Holidays can be a difficult time for our young people in the foster care system.
Many children go without visitation or gifts from relatives due to different circumstances (i.e. financial inability, incarceration, or death of guardian/ parent(s)); G&Co and our community will help 'With Love'.
Served over 500 children in 2 years.
What is G&Co | With Love Project
The G&Co | With Love Project was developed through Whitney's personal experience as one of the teens in foster care who depended on the community for the meaning of Christmas. The kindness of others sparked a tradition in the Gilliard family that is now shared with passionate people just like you.
Annually, G&Co works with the community to fulfill Christmas wishes for all children in our local Division of Family and Child Services (DFACS). At any given moment there are over 100 children in care within our county and many more surrounding us. G&Co has established the precedence to make every childs holiday special and loved. Over the course of 2 years we've been able to work along side our community and provide joy to our children in care across our county.

How Does It Work
G&Co | With Love Project begins each year on 01 November in which we ask our children to start thinking of the top 5 things they want for Christmas. Christmas wish lists are gathered by the social workers and provided to the directors of the county DFACS by 01 Dec. Our project team and community kicks into gear with fundraisers to achieve every gift on their list . You will find that within each wish list are small items, that provide a huge meaning. Many of our children love music, sports and arts so headphones, bikes, and art sets are often asked!
