Santa’s Sharing Program
he Help and Hope Center’s Santa’s Sharing Program allows you to help a family needing a little help this year. Client families selected by our Advocates are those with the most need...one or both parents unemployed, a single mother or father raising children alone. Some are the newly unemployed receiving Food Bank assistance while using any unemployment or savings to pay the rent or mortgage. Every year we see a large number of extended families living together, trying to avoid homelessness.
Client families complete an application, and we keep a log of the gift items the children are most interested in. Parents will then be invited back by appointment to “shop” and select gifts for their children.
Ways To Help
• PURCHASE NEW TOYS FOR OUR HOLIDAY STORE from our “Requested & Suggested Toys” list (The list will be emailed to you when we receive your application). We will be accepting new, unwrapped toys now through December 14th. Please keep in mind that clients will be invited to select gifts for their children beginning December 3rd and continuing until December 23rd. We kindly request that toys be delivered no later than December 14th so that they may be distributed to families for Christmas. *Toys received after December 14th will be used to restock our Birthday Room.
• DONATE CASH OR GIFT CARDS
Cash donations or gift cards received for the Santa’s Sharing Program are combined with gifts from the Holiday Store to provide families with a joyous holiday. Gift cards are very popular with teens and as a family gift. Please mail or deliver gift cards to our o ce:
