Holiday Cheer Campaign
Each fall, Community of Hope collects gift cards for the families and individuals who have experienced homelessness and are in our housing programs. They are handed out before the holidays and provide our clients with the power of choice during the holiday season – helping them choose a holiday meal or for their family.
We believe choice is critical to helping our clients get back on their feet. It is fundamental in every aspect of our program.
Participate in the Holiday Cheer program to bring holiday cheer directly to our families!
Donate easily online by clicking here. You can also give by mailing a check payable to Community of Hope indicating “Holiday Cheer” or by donating $50 or $75 Target gift cards. A limited number of $25 gift cards are also accepted.
Last year private fundraising accounted for 16% of our funding.
Together we've brought hope to about 14,000 people in 2020 — helping create opportunities for good health and stable homes.
