Become an Ollie Holiday Helper and Bring Some Holiday Joy to South Boston Families

The South Boston Neighborhood House has officially launched its Holiday Helper 2026 program to support local families in need.
With the rising cost of groceries, housing, and everyday essentials, many families are feeling the financial pinch. The program helps ease some of that stress by making sure children have gifts from their wish lists to open on Christmas morning.
Want to help? Community members can sponsor a family, shop online wish lists, donate gift cards, or contribute financially.
It’s a simple way to give back and support South Boston families this season. Check out the helpful toolkit below.
