pack up the car while her husband was at work.
Their hope…
Escape.

How you can help…Make a cash donation. Your kindness and support, no matter what the amount, can make a dramatic and direct impact.
Adopt-a-Stocking: By donating $25 a child will receive a stocking filled with treats and a gift card.
Adopt-a-Family: You will receive a family's "wish list" which you can purchase gifts from so they can enjoy a happy holiday. You can do this as an individual or as a team with other co-workers to share the cost (typically averages to $75 per family.)
Come to the “Wrapping Party”: Help gift-wrap the donated gifts, assemble stockings and woman’s gift bags and more. Bring your kids to help with cookie decorating and more. All supplies, food, drinks, and art projects for the kids will be provided along with a raffle and silent auction held for participants.
