Holiday Giving Project Referrals

The Holiday Giving Project provides Thanksgiving and December holiday assistance to low-income households. A network of social workers, school counselors, and other human service professionals refer families and individuals in need of holiday assistance.

Local non-profit agencies, faith-based organizations, service organizations and government agencies come together each year to form the Holiday Giving Project (HGP) Coalition. Member agencies of the HGP Coalition work both collaboratively and independently as local neighborhood coordinators distributing food, gift cards, and toys that come from private and public donations. This dataset provides information on the number of households referred by the program and matched to a coalition member for service based on the household’s zip code.
