ADDITIONAL WAYS TO HELP

 

During the holidays:

Adopt a Family: This is an annual program where donor volunteers help meet the needs of our client families during the holiday season. We pair volunteers with a family and provide them with their holiday wish list.   Information on how to participate is available in October.  
 

Giving Trees: Donor volunteers can stop by our office and participating businesses to take tags off our Giving Trees to shop for. Information on how to participate is available in October. 

​

Year-round:

Gift Cards: If there is not enough time to shop, gift cards in small denominations are always wonderful for gas, groceries, taxi rides, and other small items.
 

Thank you so much for your continued support of our survivors and their families!
