Our Mission is bigger than a holiday
At The Kringle Cause, we believe the spirit of Christmas is not meant to last just one month a year—it’s meant to live in every act of kindness, every spark of magic, and every life we touch.
We're building something beautiful from the ground up, and though we’re just getting started, with your help, we can create meaningful moments of joy, healing, and purpose.
Making Christmas Last All Year
Brighten the lives of children
We bring handcrafted gifts and personal visits to children facing intellectual, physical, and life-threatening health challenges, as well as those in foster care or experiencing homelessness. Every delivery is a reminder that they matter—that someone sees and celebrates them.
Empower young adults with disabilities
Our mission is powered by E.L.F.s—Envoys of Love & Fellowship—young adults with disabilities who help design, craft, and package the gifts we deliver. They are not only the hands behind the magic, but the heart of everything we do.
Support overwhelmed parents with compassion
Caring for a child with complex needs can be exhausting and isolating. We partner with local businesses to give parents opportunities to decompress—whether it’s a dinner for two, a spa treatment, or simply a moment to breathe and feel seen.
This is just the Beginning
We're hard at work building the full online home for The Kringle Cause. Our future site will offer even more ways for you to take part in the mission—from nominating a child to receive a visit, to purchasing handcrafted holiday decor and gifts made by our E.L.F.s, to joining us at one of our magical annual events.
You'll also be able to partner with us directly to help deliver more joy to the families and communities who need it most.
This is more than a website—it’s a growing movement. And you’re here right at the beginning.
Help Us Build The Workshop
It takes more than sleigh bells and good intentions to make holiday magic happen. We’re assembling a real-life workshop to bring our mission to life—one that empowers our E.L.F.s, stores handcrafted joy, and serves as a hub for giving year-round.
We’re currently seeking donations of equipment, furnishings, and workspace essentials. We’re also in search of a physical location where we can build a permanent home for The Kringle Cause—a place that includes a working studio, administrative space, and a public-facing retail shop. This will not only support our mission—it will help young adults with disabilities gain hands-on experience in retail, merchandising, and operations.
A few items on our wishlist:
- A CO₂ laser cutter, CNC router, and computers with printer/scanner support for crafting and Workshop 48 instruction
- Woodworking tools, child-safe paints, and finishing supplies
- Crafting equipment like Cricut tools and materials
- Office and meeting room furniture (desks, shelves, chairs, tables)
- Retail display units, a cash register, and check-out station gear
- A paint booth with proper ventilation and a fume extractor
- A large display screen and high-speed internet setup
- And most importantly, a safe, welcoming facility to bring it all together
Behind the Wrapping Paper
At The Kringle Cause, we’re committed to transparency—not just in where we’ve been, but in where we’re going. We’re currently in the setup and planning stage, actively laying the groundwork for a mission that brings lasting cheer to children, parents, and young adults with disabilities.
For now, we’re doing early prep work out of a small residential garage. It’s not yet a working space, and certainly not the permanent home we envision—but we’re doing everything we can to be ready when the support and space come together. We’re also in search of a larger, safe, and welcoming facility where our program can truly come to life, including room for our future E.L.F.s (Envoys of Love & Fellowship)—the young adults with disabilities who will power our mission from within.
We've been officially incorporated as a nonprofit in the state of Arizona, and we’re currently preparing our 501(c)(3) application for the IRS. We're building carefully, honestly, and with heart—brick by brick.
