Holiday Opportunities

Gifts of Hope Catalog

An item from our Gifts of Hope gift catalog is the perfect gift for the person who has everything, or placed in the stocking of someone you love!

Winter Wishes

The Winter Wishes program matches donors with hundreds of MOM client families who would otherwise be without gifts during the holiday season.

Made by area volunteers, ReMitts are made from recycled sweaters and soft fleece. When you purchase ReMitts at area stores, 100% of the proceeds go to area Food Pantries. You can purchase ReMitts in support of MOM at many area retailers.

#GivingTuesday

We wanted to send a very heartfelt thank you to our community - - our #GivingTuesday total is an astounding $45,518!

Donate Money

Hunger and the threat of homelessness affect all aspects of a child's life. Your financial gift is about so much more than meeting day-to-day needs. It's about giving families - individuals, parents, and kids - the support they need to make it through today and live with hope for the future. Financial gifts of money help support MOM's programs, such as the Food Pantry, Clothing Center, Homelessness Prevention (Housing) programs, Family Stabilization and seasonal programs in the Middleton, West Madison and Cross Plains areas of Wisconsin.

Sharing your holidays can be one of the most meaningful things you do this season. Every year, donors tell us that giving back to their community over the holidays is their favorite tradition.

Other ways to share your holidays
