Powered by People: The Heart of Project Giving Light

Behind every birthday box, every joyful celebration, and every child's smile is a community of volunteers who make it all possible. At Project Giving Light, we believe in the power of people to bring hope and light into the lives of children. Our mission wouldn’t be possible without the helping hands, open hearts, and generous spirits of the individuals and groups who show up to serve.

Over the years, we've been honored to work alongside an incredible range of volunteer partners—from schools and churches to local businesses and families. Groups like In-N-Out Burger, Mariners Christian School, Hoag Hospital, Old Navy, and Fidelity have rolled up their sleeves with us, alongside passionate student teams from JSerra, Segerstrom, TVT Community School, and more. Whether it's wrapping gifts, decorating party spaces, or simply sharing a smile, each volunteer brings something special to our mission.

To every organization and every individual who has said "yes" to serving with us: thank you. You are the reason we’ve been able to reach over 200,000 children with joy and dignity. Volunteering with PGL is more than just giving time—it’s about giving light, and we couldn’t be more grateful.
