Give Christmas Gifts & Cheer

Mental Health America in Montgomery provides Christmas gifts each year to about 400 persons with chronic mental health conditions. We provide actual gifts because everyone deserves to feel remembered and celebrated at Christmas.

Here’s how you can help:

We will use the gift card to purchase needed gifts. We can pick up the gift card from you or you can have it mailed to us by entering our address at checkout.

Make an Donation Online

Let Us Put a Tree in Your Office

Celebrate Christmas early by letting us put up a small tree at your workplace so employees can pull names and purchase requested items or Walmart gift cards.

A Long-Standing Tradition

Started in 1952 by MHA volunteer Alice Kidd, the event is an annual gift drive to benefit individuals served by the mental health system. Organizers felt the project would be a worthwhile way to ensure gifts would be distributed to individuals who may not have family with whom to share the holidays.
