WASHINGTON STREET MISSION PRESENTS

12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS. 12 GIFTS OF HOPE.

For many of our neighbors experiencing homelessness or living in extreme poverty, the Christmas season can be a difficult reminder of the challenges they face. While the holidays bring joy to many families, others are struggling to meet even their most basic needs.

This Christmas, help us remind our neighbors experiencing homelessness and hardship that they are seen, valued, and not forgotten. Each day, we’ll share practical gifts and encouragement with the people we serve and we need your help to do it with 12 ways to Make a Difference.

Beginning December 9, we will dedicate 12 days to providing practical gifts and encouragement to the individuals we serve. Each day will feature a specific item or care package designed to meet an everyday need, from personal care supplies and winter essentials to food, clothing, and items that support new opportunities.

We are inviting local businesses, churches, and community partners to join us by sponsoring one or more of these special days. Your sponsorship will help us provide these gifts to as many as 200 people each day, offering more than just essential items—it will be a tangible reminder that someone cares.
