Bethany House offers three ways to give over the holidays. Please see below to find the option or options that are right for you.
Adopt a Family
Adopt a Family is Bethany House’s most well-known holiday program. As a sponsor, you “adopt” a family (or families) in one of our housing programs. We will provide you with a wish list so that you can shop for their desired presents. Sign up begins November 2, 2026.
Winter Wonderland
Winter Wonderland is a toy and gift drive for the families currently residing in shelter. Your donations of unwrapped gifts are displayed in a room away from the children where parents can “shop” in secret, selecting just the right gifts for their kids. You can also buy gifts for mom and dad! Older children are able to “shop” for their parents. Volunteers help wrap the gifts so that they are ready to be delivered on Christmas morning.
Bethany Basics
When a family leaves shelter, they receive Bethany Basics. This bundle contains items that families need to establish their new homes, such as bedding, bathroom supplies, kitchen equipment, cleaning supplies, and more! Consider adding a few Bethany Basic to your gift list.
