Help fill “Santa’s Workshop”

Many of us take the magic of Christmas for granted. Living in a shelter is stressful for families no matter when their stay is, but the holidays bring more challenges. Children wonder if Santa will know where to find them, while parents worry about whether they can afford gifts for their children.

Give the magic of Christmas

Make Christmas memorable for families and individuals by donating items or cash to the Christmas at Catholic Charities to benefit residents of Harbor House Domestic Violence Shelter or St. Anthony Family Shelter and related programs. Funds will be used to purchase toys, clothing, household essentials and more to stock the shelves of “Santa’s Workshop.” Parents and children in the shelters “shop” for gifts to wrap and give on Christmas.

Make a difference

Ask your church, employer or school to host a donation drive. Get everything you need to host a drive with our Donation Drive Toolkit below. Optionally, make a cash donation, volunteer, choose a gift from the Amazon Wish List or shop locally using the wish list.
