ADOPT A WISH LIST

WISH 2026

WISH IS HERE!

Every older adult deserves to feel remembered, valued, and celebrated during the holiday season. Through Besa’s WISH holiday gift drive, you can help make that happen by helping fulfill WISH lists for 2,000 older adults in our community.

Since 2012, WISH has brought holiday joy to older adults across Central Ohio. This year, we’re celebrating an incredible milestone: 1 million in gifts donated since the program began!

Join us in spreading joy, kindness, and holiday cheer this season.

Make Kindness a Family Affair

For the second year in a row, we’re partnering with Seeds of Caring to help kids grow in empathy for older adults while brightening their days. Families and groups with children ages 2–12 will create heartfelt holiday cards and crafts that will be delivered alongside our WISH gifts for local seniors. It’s a simple, hands-on way for little ones to understand that meaningful gifts don’t have to be big or expensive—sometimes, a simple act of kindness can remind someone they’re cared for.
