Make This Season Brighter For A Child
The holidays are a time for warmth, laughter, and togetherness, and every child deserves a chance to experience that joy. This season, Safe Shores invites you to help bring comfort, delight, and a sense of being cared for to the children and families Safe Shores serves across DC.
Whether you’ve been part of Safe Shores’ Holiday Giving Drive for years or are joining us for the first time, we’re glad you’re here. There are three ways to take part:
1. Sponsor a Wish List (or Two!)
At Safe Shores, Intentional Care is a core value, and it shapes how we approach holiday giving. Each wish list comes from a child, so every gift reflects what that child truly hopes to receive. Complete the Holiday Giving Sponsor Sign Up Form by November 20 to receive a child’s wish list and start shopping. We ask sponsors to purchase the child’s top three wishes and at least one of their “I need” items, typically $200–$250 per wish list. Gifts must be dropped off at Safe Shores by December 1st.
2. Make a Donation
Your gift helps Safe Shores meet each family’s unique needs, provide a safe, welcoming space for children, and support them on their path to healing. We’re working toward a goal of $15,000, and every gift, of any size, brings us closer. financial gift helps Safe Shores support child victims and their caregivers.
3. Put A Bow On It – Come Wrap With Us!
Once the unwrapped presents have been delivered to Safe Shores, join us for one of our festive wrapping parties, complete with music and holiday treats! It’s a fun way to connect with fellow Safe Shores supporters and help prepare each gift with care. Wrapping parties will be held on December 4, 5, and 7. Please stay tuned for details.
Your generosity carries the magic of the season to children and families right here in our city. Won’t you join us in making this holiday season brighter?
Thank you for sharing one of childhood’s joys with the children we serve.
