HOLIDAY WISH LIST
HOLIDAY 2012
Serving families and saving lives in southeastern CT since 1976
Share the joy of the season
with families in our community
experiencing the devastating
effects of domestic violence
Experience the joy of bringing smiles to those needing kindness, support and caring this
holiday season. Imagine the bright light in a child’s eyes on Christmas morning,
just when they thought Santa wouldn’t be able to find them at the shelter.
Thank you for spreading love and joy!
Ways you can help brighten the holidays for a family in crisis
Adopt -A- Family
With your generosity, we can fulfill the holiday wishes for over 60 families
currently in crisis or transition in our community.
Donors purchase items from a wish list provided by each “adopted” family.
Holiday Wish List
Donate new, unwrapped gifts from our Holiday Wish List (see attached) to
be distributed to women and children fleeing violence, experiencing homelessness due to domestic violence, or dealing with the trauma of domestic
abuse.
Gift Cards
Gift cards allow clients to regain their dignity and self esteem by providing
the opportunity to choose what they need, when they need it during the holidays and throughout the year. Women who have recently left their abuser
are often without financial resources for basic needs. This Holiday Season,
we encourage the donation of gift cards.
Empower women and help families build a safe future!
Wrapping paper, scotch tape, gift tags, gift bags and bows are always appreciated!
Thank you for your support.
