Holiday Program

Sponsor A Family Program:

• How do I participate in this program?

  Please fill out our online form and someone will contact you shortly.
  
  

• When will you give me the information to get started?

  We assign families Monday through Friday and work hard to match you with a family as soon as possible.  If you have questions before that time, please email Samantha Bellows.
  
  

• When do I bring the gifts to you?

  We will receive your gifts at the SafePlace Resource Center December 6^th-10^th (12pm - 6pm) and December 13^th-17^th (3pm-6pm).  It is important that the items for this program come to our main facility and are not taken to the Warehouse.
  
  

• How do I get to your facility, and is there anything else I need to know?

  You will receive a link to our map of our location when you receive the details on your family. 
  
  

• If I collect money from different people to purchase items, do they receive a tax write off?

  If you are a company, organization, or informal affiliation with multiple participants pooling cash or checks, which is then used to purchase gifts that are given to SafePlace, we are unable to issue donation receipts for cash.  Donations of items are considered in-kind donations to SafePlace, not cash donations.  We regret any inconvenience this may cause some of our donors.   Please see our tax information for complete details.
  
  

Shop for the Shelter Program:

Our Shop for the Shelter Program fills the needs of our shelter clients and families who will not be able to participate in the Sponsor A Family program due to time constraints.  All donations collected for this program are displayed in the shelter, similar to shopping.  This allows shelter clients to pick gifts for their family members staying with us.  The need for this program is great and all donations are much appreciated.

• How do I participate in this program?

  You do not need to register with SafePlace to participate in this program.  Please drop off donations at the Gil Crane Warehouse and notify the warehouse staff the donation is for the Shop for the Shelter Program.
  
  

• When do I bring the gifts to you?

  Please bring donations to the Gil Crane Warehouse during the month of December.
  
  

• What kind of gifts should I bring?

  Please review our suggested wish list.
  
  

• Can I donate additional things not on the list?

  We welcome all gifts, however please do not donate any violent toys (toy knives, toy guns, etc.)  We also do not accept opened toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc.)
