2026 Holiday Gift Drive
100+ Families. Four Regions. One Incredible Mission.
It's the most wonderful time of the year… IT'S SPARKLE TIME!
This holiday season, The Sparkle Foundation is bringing holiday magic to 100+ single-mother families throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento, Los Angeles, and Phoenix, Arizona!
Our families have been selected, Team Sparkle has been activated, and now we need ALL HANDS ON DECK to bring this incredible mission to life!
We've been showing up for single mothers and their children for 20+ years and 10 years as an official 501c3 org, reminding single mothers that they are seen, supported, and celebrated. And this year, we're doing it BIG!
But we can't do it without YOU!
WAYS YOU CAN HELP MAKE THE MAGIC HAPPEN

✨ 100% VOLUNTEER. 100% HEART. 100% IMPACT.
What makes Sparkle so special is the incredible community behind it.
Every gift purchased. Every basket filled. Every hour volunteered. Every dollar donated.
It ALL matters.
And when we come together, something extraordinary happens.
We're not just delivering presents. We're delivering hope, dignity, joy, and the reminder that no mother has to do it all alone.
100+ families are counting on us this holiday season.
Let's show them what a little Sparkle can do!
✨ LET'S MAKE SOME HOLIDAY MAGIC
✨ 10 Years of Making a Difference ✨
Ten years ago, Sparkle started with a simple but powerful belief: when women are supported, families rise — and communities change.
Today, we celebrate a decade of showing up.
A decade of wrapping gifts late into the night.
Of scholarships funded, bags delivered, hands held, and hope restored.
Of volunteers, donors, partners, boards, and junior leaders choosing service over convenience — again and again.
This is what 10 years of heart, hustle, and humanity looks like.
Here’s to the next chapter of Sparkle Foundation — louder, brighter, and more impactful than ever.
Together we really can make a difference, and teach our children to do the same.
The Sparkle Foundation’s mission is to make sure single mothers and children have a sparkle in their eyes. We help women because women rarely ask for help. We help children because they are many of times victims of circumstances.
Nominations Open!
Because Every Child Deserves the Chance to Shine ✨
At Sparkle, we believe that access to enrichment shouldn't come down to a price tag. That’s why we provide one-time scholarships to help children—especially those of single mothers—participate in programs that light them up and lift them up.
From sports and summer camps to tutoring, dance, cheer, and so much more, we’re opening doors to opportunities that inspire confidence, creativity, and connection.
💫 No mom should have to choose between paying the bills and giving her child a chance to grow.
We’re here to make sure she doesn’t have to.
