The Holiday Season is Here!
We rely on community support and generosity to make sure that every woman we work with has what she needs to make the best of this holiday season for herself and her children. Gift cards are the best way to give, as we can give you a tax receipt for the amount and then women can get what their children are wishing for.
If youโre donating items, weโre currently distributing new, unopened items only.
