THE 2025 HOLIDAY PROGRAMS ARE NOW CLOSED!
Thank you to everyone who Adopted-A-Family, contributed to the Winter Wonderland gift drive, or provided Bethany Basics supplies—Your generosity will ensure a Happy Holiday to all the families served by Bethany House!
Adopt a Family
Adopt a Family is Bethany House’s most well-known holiday program. This program is for families who are in one of our housing programs. As a sponsor, you “adopt” a family (or families) and provide presents from the wish list that we send you so that your adopted family can enjoy a joyful holiday.
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 Bethany Basic to your gift list.
