Holiday Opportunities Preventing Homelessness, Ending Hunger

MOM has several holiday opportunities to help relieve stress and add joy to our customer's lives. These programs also help people save their limited resources for necessities such as utilities and rent.

Thanksgiving Program

Our Thanksgiving program will offer all the fixings for a lovely Thanksgiving meal to 350 families in the MOM service area.   A donation of $15 to the program can help us give a family the food they need for a delicious holiday meal.  Donate online or write "Holiday Meals" in the memo of your check.  This year's program is also sponsored by Certco and Integral Building Systems, Inc.

Holiday Opportunities

There are many different ways you can give during the holidays:

• Purchase gifts for a family through the Sharing Christmas Program.  Donor individuals or groups are matched with a family for whom they purchase gifts.
• Run a Holiday Food Drive - Gather your friends, family, and collect food to stock our Food Pantry.
• Assemble a Baking Kit. Include your favorite Christmas Cookie recipe and all of the ingredients and tools needed to bake them.  You can bring your kits to the Distribution Center during their regular business hours.  Ideas:  Holiday cookie cutters, sugar, flour, canned frosting, tube icing, holiday sprinkles, cookie mix or dough, eggs, butter, rolling pins, baking sheets, and hot pads. Donations can be brought to the Distribution Center.
• Join us at Home for the Holidays, a silent auction, dessert reception and Live Radio play, complete with a live Big Band.  Proceeds help prevent homelessness in our community.  Help us spread holiday cheer for a great cause by volunteering at the event!  Please sign up at https://middletonoutreachministry.wufoo.com/forms/mom-home-for-the-holidays-volunteer-form/ or contact Esther at esther@momhelps.org or 826-3409.
