Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, 40 households in YWCA programs—including shelter, housing, Healthy Teen Parent, and counseling—were adopted this Christmas. These households include 30 children who will wake up to gifts and joy because of YOU.

And the giving didn’t stop there. After every family was adopted, 51 individuals in our programs joined in the shopping—picking out gifts for a loved one or maybe just one more present for their child. Six children also had the excitement of shopping for their parent(s) and loved ones.

For many, this was something they thought would be impossible. But this week, they found dignity, hope, and the chance to give the miracle of Christmas. In just a few short days, your kindness will shine in homes across our community.

Thank you for making this season brighter for so many. 🧡

OMG!!! We almost forgot stockings, could you imagine if we hung them without care? We don't think Santa would be very happy with us.

Can you help us stuff our stockings? Just becuase these items may seem smaller they still have a huge impact on the families we support.

We have just two more days of Miracle on 8th street, there is still time for a little magic! ✨🎁
