Christmas at Catholic Charities
DONATION DRIVE
November – December
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 a stay during the holidays brings even more challenges. Children wonder if Santa will know where to find them, while parents worry about whether they can afford a 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 Harbor House Domestic Violence Shelter, St. Anthony Family Shelter and related programs. Your donation will be used to provide the best Christmas possible. 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 to their family on Christmas.

Help fill the shelves of “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 a stay during Christmas brings even more challenges. Children wonder if Santa will know where to find them, while parents worry about whether they can afford even one gift for their child or children.
Give the magic of Christmas
You can make Christmas memorable for families and individuals by donating items or cash to the Christmas at Catholic Charities programs, including Harbor House Domestic Violence Shelter and St. Anthony Family Shelter.

Learn more about our shelters
Harbor House
Harbor House at Catholic Charities is more than a safe shelter for survivors of severe violence. Harbor House uses outreach advocacy services to guide survivors of abuse through the judicial, medical and DCF systems.
Harbor House provides a variety of services each year to hundreds trying to leave abusive relationships but who never step foot in the shelter. All services are provided with the goal of breaking the cycle of violence against women and their children
St. Anthony Family Shelter
St. Anthony Family Shelter is the only Wichita-area shelter designed specifically for families with minor children.
St. Anthony provides families with basic needs, assistance and support so they may gain stable housing, receive assistance with employment, and education on financial literacy, parenting and other life skills. The goal is for families to move out of shelter into housing which they can afford and sustain for a long period of time.
