Without your donation, these individuals could spend the holidays feeling forgotten or without a gift to open.

Right now, we are packing meals for someone who can’t provide for themselves.

We are shopping for gifts for a child who has nothing under the tree.

We are making sure a teen who’s on their own for the first time doesn’t feel forgotten.

You make our work possible.

Your gift means one more child feels remembered. One more senior feels nourished. One more caregiver can show up with comfort and hope.
