Welcome to the be homeful for the holidays bear-raiser page! 

Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness (CCEH) is proud to announce its annual be homeful for the holidays campaign. Since 2015, the campaign has prevented more than 1,600 children and families from ever having to experience the hardship of homelessness. 

Thanks to you, a child in Connecticut will stay safe in their home.

Your generous tax-deductible gift helps prevent families from experiencing homelessness by providing emergency assistance to help them stay in their housed.
For every $25 donated, the CT REALTORS® Care Foundation will also gift a plush Paddington™️ bear to a child living in a shelter during the holidays.

The continued success of the campaign depends on your support by promoting and getting others involved!

1. You can start your own online “bear-raiser” team, click the "fundraise" button above and use your personalized donation link to encourage family and friends to donate.
2. You can put up a poster with a QR code to collect donations at your place of business. (Contact Victoria)
3.  You can encourage others in your community to hold their own "bear-raiser" as well.

Remember - every dollar given helps provide emergency assistance to keep families in their homes this holiday season - please donate today!
