24-hour crisis The holiday season is coming up fast! This year we are focused on giving the give of Hope and Healing and what better way to do that than by getting involved. There are many ways to get involved and help us spread the holiday cheer.
Adopt – A – Family
Our programs assist single individuals and adults with children who are survivors of domestic violence. For the first time, we are allowing our supporters to adopt families within our shelter in addition to those that are supported by our AfterCare Program. The families in our AfterCare program have achieved safe, permanent housing and are still being supported by TWSH as they continue to heal from abuse. You can adopt a single individual or an entire family. Click here to Adopt a Family.
How it works
We provide a detailed wish list and family profile for each of our families. Sponsors then ‘adopt’ a family and purchase the items on their wish list. Gifts may be delivered to our drop off location starting on December 1-December 14, 2018. Remember to include the family identification number on the gift bags. We distribute them to clients beginning Dec. 17th. For detailed guidelines and suggested spending amounts, click here.
Family information is now available online! Thank you for your patience during our website transition!
