The seventh annual Hoboken Christmas Exchange was a huge success. Over 350 volunteers and 550+ donors helped make wishes come true for over 1,400 children. Thanks for spreading joy to someone in need this Christmas.

Adopt a Child

Ensure no child in Hoboken misses out on the joy of Christmas by signing up to participate in the Hoboken Christmas Exchange. Here’s a quick view of the main steps.

  • Sign up to be a donor
  • We’ll match you with a child
  • Receive a wish list for each child you adopt
  • Wrap the gifts
  • Tag them with the name of the child

Volunteer at the Exchange

Volunteering is another fantastic way to be part of spreading joy as part of the Hoboken Christmas Exchange. It takes over 350 volunteers to coordinate drop-off and pick-up for over 1,500 children.

Slots will be listed soon. For now, just mark your calendar for December 8 – 10th.

Gift Pick-up

We want to ensure that no child up to 18 years old goes without a gift this Christmas. We achieve this by partnering with non-profit and civic organizations around Hudson County. It is important that you provide accurate contact details in case we have issues or questions on your Wish List.
