2025 Holiday Gift Drive


  • Center for Nonviolence, Inc. 235 West Creighton Avenue Fort Wayne, IN, 46807 United States (map)

We’re excited to once again collect toy and gift donations for the children of survivors in our support programs.

Drop-off options:

  • During office hours: Monday–Thursday, 9:00 am–4:00 pm

  • After hours: Email us at give@centerfornv.org to coordinate a convenient drop-off time

All gifts must be dropped off by Sunday, December 7—either at our office beforehand or at the Holiday Home Tour, where you can place them under our holiday tree.

Please note:

  • All gifts should be unwrapped.

  • Items will be removed from the wish list as they are dropped off. If you plan to purchase a specific gift, check the list beforehand to make sure it’s still needed.
