Bring smiles to those needing kindness, comfort
and caring this holiday season.
Share the joy of the season with
families in our community
experiencing the devastating
effects of domestic violence
Ways you can help brighten the holidays for a family in crisis:
Adopt -A- Family Help us fulfill the holiday wishes for a family currently in crisis or
transition in our community. Donors purchase items from a wish list
provided by each “adopted” family.
Holiday Wish List Donate new, unwrapped gifts from our Holiday Wish List (see next
page) to be distributed to women and children fleeing violence,
experiencing homelessness due to domestic violence or dealing with
day-to-day survival.
Gift Cards
Women who have recently left their abuser are often without financial
resources for basic needs. Gift cards allow clients to regain their
dignity and self esteem by providing the opportunity to choose what
they need, when they need it—during the holidays and throughout the
year.
This Holiday Season, we encourage the donation of gift cards.
Building the spirit of empowerment helps these families build new, safer lives!
* Wrapping paper, scotch tape, gift tags, gift bags and bows are always appreciated!
There is no small donation.
Thank you for your support.
