Una Navidad para Todos

Proyecto Estrella — Una Navidad para Todos

Support local Latino families this Christmas. Adopt an anonymous Estrella and shop from a family's wishlist.

Proyecto Estrella is our holiday wishlist program for local Latino families. Each anonymous Estrella represents a real family in our community with a simple wishlist of needs and holiday wishes. When you adopt an Estrella, you shop from that family's wishlist and we make sure the gifts reach them with care and privacy.

  • Adopt an Estrella — choose an anonymous family wishlist
  • Shop the wishlist — meet needs and holiday wishes
  • We deliver with care — gifts reach the family privately
  • Every gift stays local — supporting families in our community
