For the men, women, and children staying at our shelters, the holidays can be difficult. Christmas serves as a reminder of what they lack – a home, a tree, presents, disposable income.
This holiday, bless someone in need with a gift card. Cards, in denominations of $5 to $25, for coffee, a nice meal, a movie, clothing, books, etc. give individuals the freedom to purchase a special item or two for themselves and their children. It’s a gift and a touch of independence combined.
Please drop off cards to the administrative offices at 1224 E Trent Ave. in Spokane or 196 W Haycraft Ave. in Coeur d’Alene.
