10-YEARS AND GOING STRONG! This year, the DSCA is continuing to support the annual philanthropy project that the Dana Shores Women’s Club began in 2015 by coordinating holiday gift donations to Voices for Children. This volunteer program advocates for more than 4,000 children in the Hillsborough County foster care system.
In 2015, Dana Shores and Pelican Island residents provided gifts to 28 foster children. We gradually increased this number each year, and by 2020 we served more than 125 children. In 2024 and 2025, we reached an average of 150 children. Without help from us and others like us, nothing would be placed under the tree for these children. This year, we hope to serve as many children again.
Guardian ad Litem suggests providing gifts with an approximate value of $50 per child. You may click HERE to see the children’s wish lists. The program also accepts monetary donations and gift cards, which volunteers use to purchase gifts. If providing a check, please make it out to Voices for Children, the non-profit partner to Guardian Ad Litem.
Because of some security issues that arose during the 2020 gift campaign, GAL requests that none of the items be giftwrapped. We will accept donations of wrapping paper, ribbon, bows, and tags so the items can be wrapped after they have gone through inspection.
The deadline for delivering gifts is Wednesday, November 25, 2025.
