Family Holiday Wish
Give our families some extra warmth and joy this holiday season by granting a Holiday Wish! For many families at CornerHouse, the holiday season can be a time of added stress and anxiety. You can help ease this burden by providing gifts for a family at CornerHouse!
What is Holiday Wish?
Each year, CornerHouse families who are currently participating in support groups, therapy, and case management are invited to sign up for a Holiday Wish. Then, we seek donors and match them with a family and provide you with a list of gift ideas – both "needs" and "wants." This list could include household items, clothes, grocery cards, gas cards, as well as toys for the kids.
How do I sign up?
Please complete this form to sign up.
Ivy, Community & Donor Relations Officer, will follow up to confirm your registration.
Sign up by Friday, November 19 to support a family or to be added to the waitlist!
How does it work?
Individuals or groups who want to support a family are matched with one of our families in need. Donors can choose to support a family of 2-3 or 4-6 members. Families complete "need" and "wish" lists which are given to the donors, along with a brief description that includes ages and genders of family members. Donors are NOT obligated to buy everything on the list. For confidentiality reasons, the donors and recipient families do not meet and the family is not told who has donated to them.
How much does it cost?
A sponsor should plan on spending $50 - $75 per family member. We ask that each donor provides at least one item listed from the "needs" list (such as clothing, home furnishings, hygiene products, etc.) and at least one item from the "wish" list (toys, games, etc.) per family member IN ADDITION TO a $50 - $100 holiday meal donation in the form of a gift card (from the family's listed grocery store preference). If you would like, you may also donate gift wrap for your family! Please include gift receipts so caregivers may exchange items that do not fit.
Where and when do I drop off gifts?
CornerHouse office hours are limited and are subject to change. We will be in touch to schedule a drop-off time at our Roseville location by Monday, December 8th. If you would like a tax receipt for your contribution, please include a copy of your receipts upon drop off. Additionally, please leave your gifts UNWRAPPED so our caregivers have the joy of wrapping presents for their children!
