There are several ways to support the participants at Betty Griffin Center throughout the holidays.
Holiday Giving
Adopt-A-Family Holiday Program
Each year, we have families in our shelter fill out a ‘wish list’ for the holidays. This list includes their ages, genders, clothing and shoe sizes, along with three gift requests and special interests and hobbies.
Donors can adopt a family of any size, whether it’s a single woman, a mom and child or multiple families.
Help us make the holidays special for everyone this season by adopting a family.
If you’re interested, contact Carole Sullivan at caroles@bettygriffincenter.org to find out more!
Holiday Food Drive
We have up to 25 women and 25 children at any time in the shelter and more during the holidays.
Help us in making the holidays special!
