DMV Donors
Family & Donor Match
-
Donors will be matched to a family and receive a unique number by February 8, 2025. Please note that we occasionally receive last-minute applications and may need to match families after the deadline.
​
-
Donors will receive detailed information about the families they are supporting, including the family size, the age and gender of the children, as well as their clothing and shoe sizes. Each family will also share a thoughtful list of potential gift ideas for their children, ensuring a personalized and meaningful experience. Please note that families have been informed not to request electronic items.
​
Gift Shopping by Donor
-
Donors purchase items from the family’s list and provide a grocery gift card for a meal. Donors can expect to spend a minimum of $150 (this amount varies by family size).
-
Donors understand that they are responsible for purchasing, wrapping, and delivering the gifts to Hayat Trust by the drop-off deadline (March 1, 2025), to ensure they are delivered to the family in time.
Gift Delivery
-
Gifts can be dropped off or mailed via Amazon to the Hayat Trust location in Silver Spring, MD.
-
Please make sure all gifts are dropped off by March 1, 2025.
-
If you would like your gifts to be wrapped, we kindly ask that you drop them off by February 23, 2025. This will give us ample time to ensure all gifts are beautifully wrapped and ready.
Distribution
Families will collect their gifts two weeks before Eid at a designated location.
Out of State Donors

Bag Tags
For donors dropping off wrapped gifts to our address, every gift wrapped or packaged for your matched family must include a bag tag. This ensures all items are correctly matched with the intended family, guaranteeing your generous contributions reach the right recipients.
