WE DELIVER THE GIFT OF HOPE TO FAMILIES AND CHILDREN IN NEED.

The Elf Cooperative (formerly Dig Deep SF) is a 100% non-profit dedicated to serving underprivileged Bay Area families.

We have a unique gifting process where we have children shop for children — donating toys, sporting equipment and new clothing to thousands of children in a largely forgotten demographic: tweens, and teens.

With your donations and participation, you can help make this holiday season special for thousands of children and teenagers throughout the Bay Area. Through the support of our generous donors and sponsors, we’re proud to say that the Elf Cooperative represents the largest private holiday donation to The Salvation Army in California.

OUR MISSION:

We started out believing that we could deliver some hope to children who had little hope left. 

We discovered that we gave families a chance at finding pride and redemption at a time when those can be tough to find.

And the true gift we received was unlocking something deep and resounding in our kids that will guide them for a lifetime.  It is the essence of the true spirit of giving back to those who need it most, at a time when it is needed most. 

Our kids get it and get the lesson and it will stay with them forever.

Marin Target
San Rafael

The critical piece of our mission is our army of kid elves shopping for gifts for kids in need!

The Target Corporation allows a group of our kid elves to go on a huge shopping spree. These elves shop for the best toys they could ever want … all for other kids!! This is our unique power and our unique gift – a closed Target store in Marin and a shop-til-you-drop super spree to buy whatever your heart desires and give it all away. Buy ANYTHING you would want and then gift it forward. Truly a dream come true for kids to realize the best gift is the one you give.
