2025 Holiday Programs
Help make the holiday season brighter for the women and children we serve.
Adopt the Shelter
As winter approaches, women and children experiencing homelessness in our community become increasingly vulnerable to serious health risks. Our annual Adopt the Shelter initiative invites you to stand with us to ensure that as temperatures drop, everyone under our roof remains safe, warm, and cared for.
Adopt a Family
Receive a woman's or a family's wish list, along with simple gift-wrapping and drop-off instructions.
The Details:
No minimum spending requirement. Your generosity is what counts!
Please donate new/tagged items only.
All gifts should be wrapped and labeled for each family member.
Gift Drop-Off:
Drop-off dates this year will be December 13th from 9am-12pm as well as December 15th from 9am-12pm, 3pm-6pm.
You will sign up for a 10-minute time slot during one of the dates above to drop off your items.
If these dates or times do not work for you, our Donations Coordinator, Megan, will be happy to schedule a mutually convenient time.
Host a Donation Drive
By hosting a donation drive, you’ll directly support and empower our residents on their journey to permanent housing. You can collect items like new clothing and gift cards for gas stations and supermarkets.
