FOR OBERLIN RESIDENTS

Please carefully read this page before registering!

Winter can be a difficult time, especially when it comes to the cost of delivering holiday presents. Sometimes you need a helping hand!

Oberlin Community Services works to make sure every child in Oberlin’s 44074 ZIP code has the opportunity to receive holiday gifts. We match children ages 0-17 from income-eligible families with a sponsor in the community. Sponsors purchase gifts, wrap them, and deliver them to our office for parents to pick up.

To participate, you MUST REGISTER before Friday, Nov. 6, 2026.

Please note that signing up for a holiday food distribution DOES NOT automatically sign you up for Holiday Helping Hands. To receive gifts, you MUST complete and submit the separate Holiday Helping Hands registration form.
