Join us for Holiday Giving 2026
It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
Can you help us make holiday dreams come true during this giving season? With your support, we can provide presents for LGBTQ+ youth, creating joyful festive memories for those who need them. Below you will find a variety of ways to give!
Thank you for your support of our life-saving work and, most importantly, queer and trans young people! And from all of us at Time Out Youth, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Dreamlist Gifts
Please click the link to purchase from the Holiday Lists from our young people! These are the five items they most need and want. (Note: Each youth is listed with a letter & number designation. Can you help us make sure everyone receives a gift from their list?)
There are also five staple items that every young person will receive! These are also listed on the Dreamlist as “Youth Stocking Stuffers” with the quantity needed.

Never used Dreamlist before? Have questions? Here’s answers to some FAQS:
- How do I choose a gift? Press “GET THIS GIFT” and then “Reserve and Buy” to let us know you plan to purchase this item! You’ll then be asked to fill out a short form to claim the item. Afterwards, there will then be a link to the item on Amazon so you can purchase it there. You will also receive a confirmation email. Please click “Yes” on that email to let us know when items have been purchased or “No” if you’d like to unreserve the item.
- If I reserve the item on Dreamlist, does it automatically purchase and send to Time Out Youth? No, please follow the links on the page to purchase the gift and send to us!
- Where do I send the gift? To our office, 3800 Monroe Road, Charlotte, NC, 28205! This address will NOT autopopulate on Amazon, so please make sure you are sending gifts to our building and not your home!
- I don’t understand this website, please help! Send us an email to info@timeoutyouth.org and we’ll do our best to answer any questions you may have!
Gift Cards
Gift cards in $25 – $50 increments are helpful for our young people experiencing financial hardships. Gift cards from Walmart, Food Lion, Amazon, Uber, Lyft, Gas Stations and Charlotte area bus passes are preferred.
All gifts are asked to be at the Center by Friday, December 4th at 5pm so our elves can sort and wrap all items!
For information on financial contributions, please email David at dsamson@timeoutyouth.org. For questions about holiday gifts, please email info@timeoutyouth.org.
