Every year we work with families, organizations and churches in the community to bring smiles to families in the way of providing gifts. Help us make this holiday season a special one by sponsoring a family and fulfilling wishes!
Our families have 2 to 6 members in a household. Each child and adult are granted 3 wishes for the holidays. We collect the wishes from our families and match them to a sponsor.
If you are interested in participating in our Sponsor-A-Family program, please fill out the sign-up form. Spaces are limited.
During the holiday season, The Dwelling Place looks for partners interested in hosting a collection or drive for necessary goods.
In the past, we have had groups and individuals organize drives to collect warm clothing, household cleaning supplies, toiletries and food for our families.
Clothing Need: Cold Weather Gear (hats, scarves, gloves, coats, sweaters, warm pajamas) for women and children of all ages.
Household Cleaning Supply Need: All (laundry detergent, dish soap, hand soap, disinfectant, kitchen and bathroom cleaners, sponges, paper towels, toilet paper)
Toiletries Need: All (feminine hygiene products, body wash/soap, conditioner, shampoo, diapers, toothbrush, toothpaste) for all ages.
Food Need: Non-Perishable Food. Gift Cards and monetary donations are welcome for perishable food purchases.
Many independent home based businesses are connecting with the community this holiday season through fundraisers. By organizing an event and making The Dwelling Place a direct beneficiary, your contributions are not only a tax deduction but also serving a need greater than you could ever imagine.
Encourage your customers to host a party for a cause or simply host a benefit for the month of December – either way we are here to help you make it happen!
Often times, we overlook how much we truly spend on our morning coffee in a weeks time or our daily lunch; however, with just $25 once a month you can make an impact on a family’s life.
$25 x 1 month – will supply a family with adequate supplies to make a distance learning child’s lunch for a week.
$25 x 6 months ($150) – affords a parent the opportunity to take an educational course to enhance their chances in securing employment.
$25 x 12 months ($300) – provides nearly 15 hours of case management services in a year.
To join our FRIENDS CIRCLE, it is simple. Commit to changing the lives of families in your community in the amount of $25 or more. The more you give, the greater the impact you make!
