Sponsor a Family
Our Sponsored Family Program is one of the most impactful ways you can help a vulnerable individual and/or family this season. Simply choose a sponsor level that is meaningful to you, and we will direct your donation to our clients by way of gift cards. Sadly, this financial freedom is something very few survivors have ever experienced. With your gift, you are empowering them to purchase what, when, and where they want – likely for the first time ever.
Your gift will:
- Give much-needed financial assistance to our clients by providing them with gifts to fulfill their holiday wish lists.
- Supply groceries for a holiday meal.
- Offer some love, comfort, and joy that is needed and deserved this holiday season.
Three easy steps:
- Select the size of the families you wish to sponsor.
- Make a donation securely online or by mail.
- That's it! We will notify the family and let them know they are heading into the holiday season with love and joy.
Family Size & Sponsor Levels:
- Single Adult - $150
- Family of Two - $275
- Family of Three - $400
- Family of Four - $525
- Family of Five - $650

Due to our limited storage capacity and varying needs, we ask our community to register their holiday drive in the form below. A member of our staff will be in touch to confirm that these items are needed and will coordinate a future drop-off for your items.
