Our Story
Spread The Cheer USA began in December 2020 when founder Danielle Claudio, wanted to personally help a few families in need for the holidays. She then decided to utilize social media to reach out to see if she could help even more families. The campaign was called SpreadTheCheer2020. Within two weeks, over $12,000 was raised and 20 families across 15 states were surprised in person with much needed assistance and cheer. Spread The Cheer USA was created shortly after and registered as a 501c3. The board of Spread The Cheer USA has extensive plans to quadruple the amount of families that are assisted this year and around the holidays.
Spread The Cheer USA is different from other non-profits in that there is a personal touch placed on all those we assist by showing up for them in person. Everyone who makes a donation will get to see how their contribution positively impacts the lives of those in need.
Our Mission
Our mission is to bring people together from all across the country, working as one, to help those in need. Together we can bring about positive change by helping provide life changing resources for children and families in desperate need during the holiday seasons and beyond.
Our Vision
Spread The Cheer USA envisions a nation where every child and family, regardless of circumstance, feels seen, supported, and celebrated. We strive to create a ripple of kindness across the United States by empowering communities to come together, uplift one another, and spread hope through meaningful, hands-on giving. Our vision is a future where compassion leads the way and all individuals have a reason to smile.
