Villa of Hope’s Holiday Wishes Program
Villa of Hope’s Holiday Wishes program makes sure that every young person served by the Villa gets holiday gifts. For some, these will be the only gifts they receive.
The success of our program relies on the goodwill and support of the local community each year at holiday time to fulfill the wish lists of our youth and families.
How can you be a part of something that does so much for families in our area?
Holiday Wishes 2023 will begin after Thanksgiving. We invite you to stop by any Starbucks or branch of The Summit Federal Credit Union and pick up a wish tag – each tag has a youth’s three wishes!
All unwrapped gifts are dropped off at the Starbucks or The Summit Federal Credit Union where you picked up the tag.
Thank you for bringing Hope to the youth and families we work with every day!
If you are unable to make it to Starbucks or Summit Federal Credit Union, or you are not a fan of shopping, we have gift lists on Amazon; you can order from the comfort of your own computer! Visit https://tinyurl.com/Villagifts (Community programs) or https://tinyurl.com/HolidayWishesVilla (campus).
