Christmas Depot
At Our Headquarters in Fort Leavenworth, KS
At Stronghold, the holiday season is about more than meeting immediate needs—it’s about bringing joy, hope, and dignity to military families during a time that can be especially challenging. Our Christmas Depot transforms our Fort Leavenworth headquarters into a festive and wondrous holiday experience, where registered families can receive gifts, including a 'need', often an essential item like a winter coat or boots, and a 'want' to help make the holidays feel extra special.
In addition to these personalized gifts, we provide essentials like diapers, toiletries, and food staples to ease the financial burdens of the season.
Our goal is to create moments of joy, connection, and support, so families can focus on what matters most—being together during the holidays, free from financial stress.
This initiative honors the sacrifices of military families, ensuring every child experiences the magic of the season. If you’re a family in need, a donor wishing to sponsor, or an organization wanting to contribute, we invite you to register below and help make this Christmas unforgettable.

Sponsor a child or family
This holiday season, you can make a world of difference by sponsoring a military child or family through our Christmas Depot program.
