Overview

Flames of Giving is a not for profit 501(c)(3) that has for 28 years been providing gifts of hope and happiness for life’s special moments for people in need. We have given over 40,000 gifts to the needy over the past 28 years through the kindness and compassion of our generous community. Our flagship program grants holiday wishes to those in struggling whether holocaust survivors; people with disabilities; the homeless and destitute; foster children; teens and adults dealing with mental illness and addiction; the elderly who are frail and alone; families struggling with hunger, domestic violence and financial challenges; under served young adults dealing with many of life challenges and people with special needs. We anonymously match less fortunate individuals with generous donors to ensure everyone gets a gift and is remembered at the holidays. After 24 years, in November 2018, we became a 501(c)(3) which has provided us with the opportunity to sustain and grow in helping our neighbors in need celebrate all life's special moments.
