Living in a shelter is stressful for families, no matter when their stay is, but Christmas brings even more challenges . Children wonder if Santa will know where to find them, while parents worry about whether they can afford even one gift for their child or children.
You can make Christmas memorable for these families and individuals by investing in Catholic Charities programs that support the most vulnerable persons in our community, including Harbor House Domestic Violence Shelter and St. Anthony Family Shelter.
Your monetary gift will be used to provide the best Christmas possible for the children, parents and low-income senior citizens participating in shelters and other programs this holiday season.
Your donation will help us purchase toys, clothing, household essentials and so much more to stock the shelves of "Santa's Workshop". Parents and children will then get to "shop" and pick out gifts to wrap and share with their family on Christmas.
Your donation today will help make this Christmas memorable for families experiencing homelessness, poverty or escaping domestic violence.
