The Donegal Childcare Committee has said that more and more families are struggling at this time of year.
The group says that some families are left without electricity, while some families do not even have beds for their children.
The Donegal County Childcare team are currently running the Presents for Percy appeal, and to date it has received requests from 530 families for presents for more than 1,300 children this Christmas.
The Presents for Percy Appeal was launched in 2011 and has supplied presents for thousands of local children.
