For 39 years, United Way of Greater Cincinnati and The Cincinnati Enquirer have partnered on this annual holiday project, which provides support to families and individuals in need across our region.
Their wishes are not extravagant. Donations from caring people like you will make it possible to purchase beds, clothing, shoes, home furnishings and appliances — items many of us take for granted.
Wish List stories feature people in our community who could use a hand this season, and we know there are so many more who face similar challenges year-round. You can feel good knowing your gift also helps other families gain stability, comfort and hope.
Stories will appear in The Cincinnati Enquirer on Sundays and Mondays throughout December and online at Cincinnati.com and Fox19.com.
Amid the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, it’s easy to forget that just around the corner, our neighbors face unseen struggles.
When you give, compassionate and generous people like you can have a tremendous impact on local families striving for a better future.
Your kindness can change lives. Will you be the reason someone’s wish comes true this season?
Stay tuned: 2025 Wish List stories will be posted here.
