“Haven Gift Giveaway is unlike any other holiday giveaway or "adopt-a-family” program. It empowers survivors, who have utilized Haven's services in the past 12 months, to "shop" (at no cost) through hundreds of donated items to pick out special gifts for their children and themselves.  It is a truly rewarding experience for everyone involved.  Last season, the support of caring community members made the holidays wonderful for 758 Haven clients who received gifts 218 adults and 540 children."

“Promoting art and creativity with Arts and Scraps at the GM River Days was an amazing experience. It was so much fun helping the kids AND adults create art projects. Funnily enough, the adults needed more instruction than the kids!”
