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:

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!
