Holiday Community Volunteer Event

Saturday, December 5, 2026 | 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM

Join us for a special morning of giving, community, and holiday cheer as we come together to bring warmth and joy to our domestic violence service center this holiday season!

We invite our generous donors and community partners to take part in this festive volunteer event by hosting a holiday donation drive of their own, collecting much-needed items, and bringing their contributions to our center during the event. A list of essential items can be found here, and we welcome gifts for adults and toys for children across all ages for the Holidays.

A Holiday Gift Program Centered on Choice and Dignity

This year, donated items will help create a special holiday shopping experience for the individuals and families in our programs. Rather than distributing pre-assembled gifts, we want to offer survivors the opportunity to select the items that feel right for themselves and their families.

This approach honors each survivor's agency, supports individual preferences and needs, and helps ensure a fair and equitable experience for every family participating in our holiday program.

Your donations will help us create a welcoming selection of gifts and essentials so that every participant can experience the joy and dignity of choosing something special for themselves and their loved ones.

How You Can Participate

  • Host a Holiday Drive through December 4th: Rally your friends, family, coworkers, or community to collect donations in support of survivors and families in our programs.

  • Drop Off Your Donations: Bring your collected items to our center during the event. Your contributions will help stock our holiday shopping experience and give families meaningful choices.

  • Volunteer & Decorate: Join us in decorating the center and creating a cheerful, welcoming space filled with holiday spirit.

Together, we'll welcome the holiday season by decorating our space with festive touches, preparing a warm and inviting environment, and celebrating the power of community coming together to make a difference.

Whether you host a drive, contribute donations, volunteer your time, or do all three, your participation helps create moments of comfort, hope, and joy for survivors and their families.

Thank you for helping us make the holidays brighter while ensuring that the families we serve are met with dignity, choice, and care.

Let's make this holiday season brighter, together!
