Can I pick up my gift after Holiday Fest?

No, unless you have a documented medical emergency or there is severe weather that closes the building.

I’d like to volunteer—is it too late to sign up?

Contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Ezra McNair, at [email protected] for more information.

I usually donate items. Is it too late to donate?

We’d love any donations! New hats, gloves, holiday stockings, new socks, holiday cookies, and gift cards ($10-20 Target or Cub Foods gift cards are most helpful for our members) are things we are always looking for during the holiday season! Make a monetary donation by clicking here.

Can I bake and donate cookies?

We are always happy to accept cookies! Please bring them to the Front Desk any time prior to our holiday party on December 13 – we have a freezer to keep them fresh. Please bag by the dozen or half dozen; labeling is helpful, but not required (vegan, gluten free, contains nuts, etc.). And psst, we’ll take cookies after that, too – our Meal Program can always serve them with lunch or to-go meals!
