Project Christmas Joy is a holiday tradition at Omaha Home for Boys, and your generosity ensures every youth receives a special gift.

By giving today, you help every young adult at OHB experience the magic of the season. Many of them, especially those with young children, are facing a holiday without gifts or even the essentials. With your help, they can receive both — something they need and a special gift to remind them they are loved and not forgotten. This Christmas, let’s come together to make sure no one is left out.

Please help provide gifts in one of the following ways:


1. Shop our Amazon Gift Registry

Purchase essentials or gifts from our Amazon Gift Registry and ship them directly to Omaha Home for Boys.


2. Purchase and Deliver Requested Gifts

Purchase needed essentials and gifts at your favorite retailer and deliver them to our campus. Here is a list of needed items. Contact RaeAnn Knoell at rknoell@ohb.org to coordinate a delivery time.


3. Host a Drive

Hold a drive at your work, church, or other organization to collect needed items and gifts from friends, coworkers, customers, members, etc. and deliver the items to our campus. Here is a list of needed items. Contact RaeAnn Knoell at rknoell@ohb.org to coordinate a delivery time.
