Help Bring Thanksmas to Life
Thanksmas is a free holiday experience created for families in our community who may be facing financial hardship during the holiday season. Through gifts, food, entertainment, activities, and meaningful moments, we work to create a day where families can simply enjoy being together and make lasting memories.
The event is only possible because of the generosity of people like you. Whether you donate a toy, make a financial contribution, or become a sponsor, your support helps provide an unforgettable experience for children and families who need it most.
If you would like to donate, volunteer, become a sponsor, or register your family for this year's event, click the button below to learn more and get involved. Together, we can make sure every family experiences the joy, hope, and magic of the holiday season.
Donate a Toy. Make a Donation. Change a Life.
Written by Livwell Foundation Executive Director Jovanni Cedeño, this book explores the concept of "Seperationship" and the emotional disconnection that can exist within relationships and ourselves. Drawing from his experience growing up in poverty and being raised by a single mother, Jovanni shares lessons on healing, personal growth, vulnerability, and connection. This book is an extension of Livwell Foundation's mission to eradicate poverty by empowering individuals and strengthening families. Most importantly, 100% of profits from every book sold go directly to Thanksmas, helping provide meals, gifts, resources, and hope to families in need during the holiday season.
Our Initiatives
Education
One of our signature initiatives is a network of in-school and afterschool programs designed to build leaders within Title I schools and underserved communities. Through leadership-based curriculum, service opportunities beyond the classroom, and collaboration with local administrators, The Livwell Foundation creates safe spaces where students can be themselves, grow in confidence, and make a lasting impact in their communities.
Events
One of our signature initiatives is a series of community events designed to inspire hope and strengthen families in underserved communities. Through meaningful experiences, opportunities to connect, and exposure to resources, The Livwell Foundation creates environments where families feel valued, supported, and empowered. We believe that by bringing people together and showing them they are not alone, and that others believe in their potential, we can break cycles of poverty and build a future filled with possibility.
