Drives and Holiday Donations

There are many fun and easy one-time projects OR ongoing drives that groups or clubs can organize to benefit the children and adults in our programs:

Thanksgiving and Christmas

Here are some ideas:

• Food Basket: Provide canned goods and non-perishables for a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner for a needy family. Please Include a gift card for turkey/ham. No perishables please.
• Adopt-An-Angel: Purchase a new Christmas gift for a child in one of our programs.
• Adopt-A-Family: Brighten a family’s Christmas with new clothing, gifts, household goods or food.
• Adopt-A-Program: Provide new blankets and bedding for shelter families or toys and clothing for Head Start children for Christmas.
• Stuff Stockings: Pack Christmas stockings with special gifts for our seniors (hard candy, gloves, warm hat).

Gift Cards are always welcome!

Notes for our holiday donors:

As our families and individuals are rebuilding, we can accept only NEW toys, clothing, household goods, etc..

Due to limited resources, we are unable to pick up donations or gifts. Delivery can be made either to the program or the main office at 1000 Howard Avenue. We respect the confidentiality of our clients and we are unable to grant permission for you to deliver to or to meet them directly.
