The holidays should be a time of joy—but for women and children impacted by gender-based violence, this season can bring up pain, uncertainty, and loss. Through our Holiday Giving Program, we work to bring a little more light, hope, and comfort into their lives.
Your kindness helps provide gift cards, essential items, and small but powerful moments of celebration—giving survivors the chance to create new memories in a way that feels safe and meaningful to them.
Every gift, no matter the size, helps remind women and families that they are seen, supported, and never alone. Together, we can help bring warmth, dignity, and joy to those starting over. We kindly ask for new, unopened items only. Thank you for helping us make the holidays a little brighter for the families we serve.
