jrSHYC Giving Tree 2017
Help Brighten the Holidays for Families in Need
December 1st - 13th Noon
This year you may give two ways!
A) Donate Online - www.behomeful.org
B) Giving Tree Toys, Gifts & Gift Cards - www.safefuturesct.org
Online Donations
For members who prefer or who cannot give physical gifts, we are coordinating online with the Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness in their BE HOMEFUL for the Holidays effort. Donate here to spread a little bit of cheer to a homeless child this holiday season? With a donation of $25, a Paddington plush bear or book will be given to a child in a shelter. Your gift will also provide critical emergency assistance to families on the verge of homelessness.

We will also collect toys, gift cards and gifts for families in need. Safe Futures of New London is our gift giving beneficiary charity of choice again this year. Safe Futures is a domestic violence crisis center based in New London. Their mission’s aim is to save lives, restore hope and facilitate change for the future for those impacted by domestic violence in Southeastern Connecticut.
