Opportunity Details
2020 Adopt an Emergency Shelter Family for the Holidays
My Sisters' Place helps survivors of domestic violence with family and immigration legal services, counseling services, and emergency shelter. A number of families in the emergency shelter are homeless after fleeing their abusive situations and seeking safety. In addition to being affected financially by the COVID-19 pandemic, this will be the first time many of these families spend the holidays alone.
Volunteers are asked to "adopt" a family to help bring some much-needed holiday cheer this season. Once volunteers are matched with an anonymous family, they will receive the survivor's story as well as their holiday wish list. Volunteers will purchase and wrap the gifts on the family's wish list and deliver them to the My Sister's Place office. The gifts will then be delivered to their adopted family!
Express interest below (or express interest as a team if volunteering as a family or group) to receive more information.
