📅 Application Deadline for 2026
Holiday Hope will not accept any applications after November 30.
Each county/city will have its own application window, and the dates for that county/city will be posted when applications open. Please apply only during your county’s/cities designated timeframe.
This deadline ensures our volunteers have the time they need to:
- Carefully check all references
- Review applications for accuracy and eligibility
- Notify families who have been accepted for the 2026 holiday season
Families will be notified only if they have been accepted to receive help for the Holiday Hope program. If you are not accepted, no notification will be sent. Notifications go out in December.
Please read the APPLICATION GUIDELINES before filling out your application
The guidelines explain eligibility, required documentation, reference checks, and important rules for 2026.
Reviewing them first will help ensure your application is complete and prevent delays or automatic rejection.
