Each Christmas season, DOVE provides gifts to several schools and agencies in Newark, the Maplewood South Orange School District, and the Don Bosco Youth Center. In addition to local sites, DOVE donates gifts for the impoverished children in Appalachia, West Virginia, as they have done for over 25 years. Many of these children would not receive a Christmas gift if not for DOVE's donations, and we are especially devoted to making Christmas happen for our vulnerable community partners who have felt the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic most.
Each year, members of our Seton Hall network donate upwards of 1,500 toys for children in need. We then sort, wrap, and load the gifts into the DOVE vans. It's your generosity that makes this all possible. To learn more about how to donate items, click here.
Thank you for continuing to be a part of this Christmas miracle.
*DOVE’s first 150 online donations will receive a Seton Hall Pirate Santa Hat! Please note that your tax-deductible gift receipt will exclude the value of the hat.
If you plan to attend the 10th Annual Pancakes with Santa and the Pirate this weekend, please remember that you can also bring an unwrapped toy for DOVE. Santa hats will be available! Thank you again for your support!
