This Nowruz, Some Tables Will Be Empty.
Help us deliver food baskets to families who have nothing. 100% of your donation goes directly to aid.
Every child deserves a full table and a chance to learn.
Gift a Smile is a volunteer-run initiative dedicated to supporting orphaned children, widowed mothers, and families in remote and underserved communities around the world. We are ordinary people who care, no offices, no salaries, just volunteers giving their time to make a difference. Through seasonal food drives and back-to-school supply campaigns, we ensure that no family is forgotten and no child goes without.
We don't take a percentage. We don't have overhead. 100% of every donation is spent on the people who need it and every donor receives a full distribution report so you can see exactly where your money went.
This Nowruz, some tables will be empty. Let’s change that.
As families across Iran prepare to welcome the Persian New Year and observe Ramadan, thousands of children, many without fathers, many in forgotten villages, will sit at tables with nothing on them. Not because of neglect. Because of collapse.
Inflation has quietly made rice, oil, and beans, the most basic of things out of reach for families who have never known hunger before. Our Emergency Food Campaign is a race against time to purchase and deliver food baskets before Nowruz arrives.
Time Remaining
Food baskets must be purchased and delivered before Nowruz begins. Every day counts.
What Your Donation Provides

“A small sacrifice for us is survival for them.”
Your generosity reaches those who need it most.
Orphaned Children
Thousands of children across Iran have lost one or both parents. Many live with extended family members who are barely getting by. Our campaigns provide these children with food during holidays and supplies to stay in school.
Widowed Mothers
Widowed mothers in Iran often face extreme financial hardship with little to no support system. Our food basket drives ensure they can provide their families with a dignified meal during Nowruz and Ramadan.
Remote & Rural Families
Some of Iran’s most vulnerable communities are in remote, mountainous villages that major aid organizations overlook entirely. We reach these forgotten families directly, delivering aid to doorsteps that no one else visits.
Every campaign tells a story. Here’s what your generosity has made possible.
