Collect Gift Cards

Offer a little extra cheer and independence. Gift cards allow those in our programs to choose what they need most, whether for themselves or their loved ones. Popular options include Amazon, Walmart, Target, and Dunkin’. 

A suggested minimum of $25 per gift card is greatly appreciated.

Provide a warm, festive celebration by donating a catered meal for residents or clients at one or more of our programs. Your generosity will bring comfort and community during this special time of year.

Drop-off date, time, and location arranged with Program in advance.

Help our residents bond and build a sense of community by sponsoring a fun outing, whether it’s to a local event, movie, or another activity. Ideas include bowling, UMass Lowell Hockey game, and local museums.

You can ensure warmth all winter long by purchasing hats, gloves, scarves, jackets, backpacks and other items. Winter Essentials can be donated to clients, or to our Community Outreach team for their winter Backpack Drive serving the Unhomed population in Greater Lowell. 

Your cash gift allows us to continue our mission all year long and continue to touch the lives of over 3,500 individuals across Merrimack Valley. 

Donations can be made directly through our online portal.

YOUʼRE NOT ALONE

The road back is never
straight forward. We’re here for all of life’s ebbs and flows.
