Holiday Season Volunteer and In-Kind Gift Needs

From Thanksgiving to the New Year, Project HOME has many opportunities for involvement to help make the holidays a special time for our community. Review the options below and e-mail [email protected] for more details!

Thanksgiving Drives—Help ensure every community member has a Thanksgiving meal this November. We invite you to donate frozen turkeys and/or Thanksgiving turkey baskets (including a frozen turkey and fixings to complete a Thanksgiving meal). 

Gift Card Drive—Help formerly homeless and low-income men, women, and children have a happy holiday season. We are in need of donations of $30 gift cards to Target and $100 gift cards to Walmart and Fresh Grocer to give to Project HOME residents. Contact vcoordinator.org if you would like to donate individual cards, “adopt” a residence or program, or would like more information.

Holiday Meal—Host a special holiday party for residents of Project HOME. Volunteers can help celebrate the holidays with Project HOME residents around Christmas time. This is a great one-time opportunity for this group. Help set up, bring and serve food, run activities, and spread holiday cheer to our residents.

Run a Holiday Drive—Volunteers can participate in collecting items for our holiday drive. Items that we are in great need of are:

• Toiletries including shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, shaving cream, and razors
• Men's and women's underwear
• Feminine hygiene products
• Hand sanitizer
• Laundry detergent
• Linens—sheets, blankets, pillows, and pillowcases (twin or double size)
• Towels and washcloths
• Shower caps and shower shoes
• New men's and women's warm-weather clothing, such as sweatpants, sweatshirts, coats, hats, scarves, and gloves
• Toys for K-5th graders
