2023 Holiday Assistance Program 

Thanks to our amazing community of allies, we were able to help provide gifts to 321 children and 152 adults during the 2023 holiday season! This is a record high for this program. Thank you for your support!

How to Donate:

1. Shop online through our Amazon Wish List
2. Shop off of our holiday wish list in the store of your choice.
