World Wish Month

This World Wish Month, we're partnering with the Marie Lamfrom Charitable Foundation to help hundreds of local kids rediscover joy. We’re determined to grant as many wishes as possible on the anniversary of the very first wish that inspired our mission. Join us in celebrating wishes past, present, and future by making a donation, attending an event, supporting in-store fundraisers, and more! To help us reach every eligible child, MLCF will match every dollar we raise up to $300,000 in support of World Wish Month. Double your impact by making a gift today.
