2024 Holiday Program

Each year, our Holiday Program brings joy to families whose holiday season looks a bit different. We provide shelter residents and community families who have experienced abuse with gifts donated by generous sponsors, helping them find some normalcy during a challenging time.

On average, we’re able to bring hope and joy to over 150 women, men, and children through this program! Whether you participate with coworkers or family, it’s a meaningful opportunity to spark conversations about domestic violence and show support for survivors in our community.

Ways to contribute

• Sponsor an Individual or Family: We work closely with our clients to create detailed wish lists. As a sponsor, you receive these lists allowing you to choose how much or how little you’d like to purchase based on their needs and wants. These clients may be living in our shelter or in the community.
• Host a Giving / Caring Tree: We provide a wish list of frequently needed items and gift ideas for families who may arrive at our shelter right before Christmas morning without prior sponsorship. This ensures that everyone receives support during the holiday season. Click HERE for our holiday wish list.
• Cash / Gift Card Donations: Consider donating gift cards for gas, groceries, retail stores, haircuts, movie passes, or any family-friendly activities. These contributions help provide immediate support to families in need.
