How it Works
the christmas project 2026
99 for the One is a family-led, faith-based outreach serving people living in shelters on Florida’s Treasure Coast.
SPONSORING A GIFT
Four simple steps
Shelters share their needs
Each shelter director gives us a coded wish list. Residents are identified by number, never by name.
You choose the gift
Select a shelter, open its Amazon registry, and pick a requested item.
Arrives by December 1
Please order by November 20 so your gift reaches our team by December 1. Amazon ships it to the registry address (full address hidden for privacy), and we check each one against the wish list.
We deliver in person
Gifts are given on distribution night, together with dinner, prayer, and time spent with each family.
More than a drop-off
