At a Glance: 2025 Season of Caring Impact
The 2025 Season of Caring and 10 Caring Gifts initiative wrapped up with an extraordinary show of community generosity across the Gulf Coast. Through the collective efforts of donors, volunteers, churches, schools, businesses, and long-standing partners, nearly 10,000 in-kind gifts were collected and distributed—bringing joy and essential support to more than 4,000 individuals and families during the holiday season.
From toys and creative enrichment for children to food and essential care for those in need it most, this year’s campaign reflected the power of collaboration and compassion in action. With the support of community sponsors and partners, this Season of Caring once again demonstrated how shared purpose can turn hope into real, measurable impact for the people we serve.
The success of the 2025 Season of Caring and 10 Caring Gifts initiative would not have been possible without the extraordinary partnerships that rallied our community around this mission. At the heart of this effort is our long-standing media partner, WALA Fox 10, whose on-air promotion, drop-off locations, and community storytelling helped amplify needs and inspire action across the Gulf Coast. We are especially grateful to our lead sponsors:
A Community-Wide Effort
In addition to our lead sponsors, this year’s toy collection was strengthened by a wide network of additional drop-off sites, organizations, schools, businesses, families, and individuals. From credit unions and tire stores to schools, churches, alumni groups, and neighbors opening their doors to collect gifts, the response reflected a shared belief that everyone can play a role in giving hope.
These collective efforts—whether hosting a drop-off box, organizing a small drive, or donating individually—made it possible to reach 4,046 people with nearly 10,000 in-kind gifts this season. Rather than standing alone, each contribution became part of something much larger: a movement of kindness and generosity.
Gratitude That Lasts Beyond the Season
Season of Caring is strongest because of partnerships rooted in trust, consistency, and shared values. We are deeply thankful to Fox 10 News, Mercedes-Benz of Mobile, Greer’s, and the many community supporters who stepped forward this year. Together, you helped ensure that children experienced joy, families felt supported, and hope was tangible throughout the holidays.
Because of you, caring doesn’t stop at intention—it turns into action.
