Join the Waitlist
All of our 2026 Adopt-A-Family spots, for at least 150 families, are now filled. But there is still a door open for you: sponsors have asked us to find more households, and you can apply for those opportunities right now. You can also add your name below, and we will contact you if a spot opens.
An Important Change for All Applicants
Effective October 27, 2026, Operation Holiday® asks every applicant for the last 4 digits of the Social Security number (or ITIN) of each person in the household. We never ask for the full number.
We’re doing this to protect the families we serve and the sponsors who give so generously. The last 4 digits help us make sure each person appears on only one application, so every gift goes to the household it was meant for. They also help us stop anyone who tries to apply more than once or under different names.
An application missing the last 4 digits for anyone in the household can’t be completed. Every number is kept private and seen only by Operation Holiday.
Thank you for helping us keep Operation Holiday fair and trustworthy for everyone.
Un cambio importante para todos los solicitantes
A partir del 27 de octubre de 2026, Operation Holiday® pide a cada solicitante los últimos 4 dígitos del número de Seguro Social (o ITIN) de cada persona del hogar. Nunca pedimos el número completo.
Lo hacemos para proteger a las familias que servimos y a los patrocinadores que dan con tanta generosidad. Los últimos 4 dígitos nos ayudan a asegurar que cada persona aparezca en una sola solicitud, para que cada regalo llegue al hogar al que fue destinado. También nos ayudan a detener a cualquiera que intente presentar más de una solicitud o usar nombres diferentes.
Una solicitud a la que le falten los últimos 4 dígitos de alguna persona del hogar no se puede completar. Cada número se mantiene privado y solo lo ve Operation Holiday.
Gracias por ayudarnos a mantener Operation Holiday justo y confiable para todos.

Please note
Waitlist sign-ups received before applications opened on October 1, 2026 have been removed, and those Waitlist numbers are no longer active. If you signed up before that date, please sign up again below to receive your new Waitlist number. Waitlist families are contacted in the order they sign up.
Filling out this form is in no way an application. It only adds your name to our waitlist.
We make Christmas possible.
