Holiday Opportunities
This holiday season all of our events have had to turn virtual, including our client holiday programs. We're grateful for the outpouring of support that will help us continue to weather an unstable economic future and continue to provide support for so many in our community. It's through your partnership and support that MOM continues to adapt during this difficult time. Join us this holiday season!
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!
Gather Apart: New Year's Eve
Gather Apart & support our community. As a way to celebrate different holidays, MOM & 1847 at the Stamm House will partner to bring you meal options that support MOM, our community, and 1847 at the Stamm House.
ReMitts benefit MOM
Warm, wool mittens with all proceeds going to local food pantries will be available for purchase this year, despite some pandemic-related challenges.
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.
Monthly Giving Program: Circle of Hope
Becoming a monthly supporter is an easy way to make a powerful and long-lasting impact in our community. Your recurring contributions add up over time, and help provide weeks, months and years of important assistance and resources to those in need.
CARES Act Provides Incentives for Giving
You may have heard about the CARES Act and its direct financial assistance for small businesses, nonprofits and employees. The CARES Act includes a number of other important provisions, including ones that encourage charitable giving from both individuals and corporations.
Other ways to share your holidays
-
Donate to the Thanksgiving Basket program
Each holiday season, we reach out to you to ask that you help us match Community needs with donors interested providing a Thanksgiving meal. This year, due to changes in how we will source our Thanksgiving and Holiday foods and how we continue to alter our operations to accommodate a constantly changing food security climate, we ask that if you are interested in supporting our fall and winter programs, you consider a more general donation, writing "fall/winter" in the memo of your check. We will use these donations to respond as best we can to emerging needs. For up to date information on holiday opportunities, continue to visit us at holidays.momhelps.org.

Creating Stability Then and Now: MOM's Seasonal Programs
MOM has a variety of seasonal programs designed to help families with specific needs during certain times of the year. Made possible through the time and generosity of volunteers and donors, these programs demonstrate the community’s involvement in MOM’s work.
Creating Stability Then and Now: MOM's Clothing Center
Truly a community program, the Clothing Center grew from the idea of a dedicated volunteer in 1999. Throughout twenty years of moves and changes, the Clothing Center has remained a completely volunteer-staffed enterprise while expanding to serve more people. Last year alone, the Clothing Center distributed 127,000 pounds of clothing.
