As the holiday season approaches, we're excited to share a few ways you can make a difference in the lives of families experiencing homelessness.
SPONSOR A FAMILY
One of the most impactful ways to make a difference is to sponsor a family. By sponsoring a family for Thanksgiving, you'll provide them with a $50-100 grocery gift card and/or gifts to make their holiday brighter. We have 45 families in need of sponsorships. In addition, our Christmas Angel sponsorship includes purchasing a “need” and a “want” from each family member’s wish list.
Please contact Nancy Willmes by November 18th to sponsor a family.
BOTTLE & BUNDLE
Join us for our Bottle & Bundle Drive on November 24th from 12-1:30 PM at Southminster Presbyterian Church.
Bring your recyclable bottles and cans, as well as NEW winter clothing items like coats, hats, gloves, and scarves. Your donations will help support families in need.
SUPPORT OUR MISSION YOUR WAY
Volunteer Your Time
We're also seeking volunteers to help wrap gifts for our sponsored families on December 6th from 12-3 PM. Your time and talents will help bring joy to families during the holiday season.
Consider a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)
A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable giving vehicle that allows you to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants from the fund over time. It’s a flexible and efficient way to support our mission and other charitable organizations.
Dine Out with Us
Take the night off and join us on Thursday, December 5th from 4-8 pm at Burgerville on Allen Blvd. in Beaverton. It’s always a treat to take the night off from cooking, and supporting a local business where 20% of their proceeds come back to us!
Ongoing In-kind Donation Needs
We always appreciate donations of the following items:
Toilet Paper & Paper Towels
Dishwasher Detergent
All-purpose Cleaner
Laundry Soap & Dryer Sheets
Diapers (size 5 & 6)
Baby wipes
Cleaning supplies
Deodorant for men & women
Your support, whether through donations, volunteering, or spreading the word, makes a tremendous impact. Together, we can ensure that every family has a warm and joyful holiday season.
Thank you for your continued kindness and generosity.
