CHRISTMAS OUTREACH
We collaborate with community partners to offer a range of opportunities to support local individuals and families during the Christmas Holiday season.
Please read about the three different ways you can provide support and complete our Christmas Outreach registration form.
Ways to Give
Adopt a Family
You and a group of people will receive names and wish lists from each family member eligible to receive a gift (those with disabilities and those 18 and younger). Your group will coordinate the following:
- Purchasing gift(s) totaling about $35 minimum per person
- Wrapping and clearly labeling the gifts
- Delivering them to the designated place on campus (TBD)
Collection and Gift Delivery to North Light
On Thursday, 12/15, we need a few folks to help collect gift donations in the Cinema of the Connelly Center between the hours of 10am and 2pm. We also need volunteers to help deliver the gifts on Friday, 12/16. We do not yet have a solidified time to deliver gifts on 12/16 but we will reach out to you with more information if you express interest on the donation form.
Support a Toy Drive
You can donate to the Church of New Hope and Faith's Youth Council Toy Drive via their Amazon Wish Lists below. Once you or your group decides how you would like to support this drive, please complete this form. All gifts must be received by December 15h. Here are the wish lists:
- Teen Girls (13-16 years)
- Teen Boys (13-16 years)
- Little Girls and Toddlers (1-12 years)
- Little Boys and Toddlers (1-12 years)
- Special Needs Youth & Kids (4-14 years)
Donate a $25 Gift Card
5 Below gift cards will go toward gifts for the children at North LIght during their annual Christmas party.
Amazon or Target gift cards will go toward other Community Partners who have reached out to us for Christmas giving support (e.g., Lutheran Settlement Services, Families Forward Shelter, Peopel's Emergency Center, Catholic Social Services, St. Francis Inn, St. Thomas Aquinas Parish).
Note: All gift cards must be physical gift cards and sent to Marcy Andersen in St. Rita's Hall 118 by December 14th or can be brought to the Cinema of the Connelly Center between the hours of 10am-2pm on Thursday, 12/15.
