STUFF THE SLED
Make the Holidays Brighter for Local Kids
A Holiday Gift Drive for Kids Across West Michigan | Launching November 1, 2026
Ways to participate in the Stuff the Sled Drive
Every child deserves to experience the joy of the holidays. Stuff the Sled brings people and resources together to provide gifts for local children, helping make the season brighter and more joyful.
Shop for Gifts
Shop for a local child from the comfort of home or your office! Choose a preselected holiday gift online and have it shipped directly to United Way. Each gift has been thoughtfully selected to be age-appropriate, high-quality, and similar in value. It’s a simple way to help make the holidays brighter for a local child - wherever you are.
Sign Up as a Team
Make giving a team effort! Gather your coworkers, friends, family, club, or organization and come together to Stuff the Sled. Shop our online selection of holiday gifts as a group, invite others to participate, and watch your team’s impact grow. Every gift purchased helps bring holiday joy to a local child.
Sponsor Stuff the Sled
As a sponsor, you get to host a Party with a Purpose! Bring the holiday spirit to your workplace as your team comes together to personalize and wrap gifts for local children. We’ll bring the gifts and everything you need; you bring the team! It’s a festive way to celebrate the season while spreading a little extra holiday magic with your team.
Volunteer Your Time
Lend your time to sort and pack gifts or support one of our holiday events. Every hour helps create a joyful holiday experience for local children and families.
About the Drive
Every child deserves to experience the joy of receiving a gift during the holiday season. Stuff the Sled helps make that possible by collecting holiday gifts for children and families across West Michigan.
For some families, the holidays can bring added financial pressure, making it difficult to afford gifts. Stuff the Sled brings our community together to help make sure children have something special to unwrap and enjoy.
Together, we can fill the sled with gifts, spread a little extra holiday joy, and help make the season brighter for children in our community.
A huge thank you to our 2026 sponsors, the magic makers
