Christmas in Elizabeth House

Let us bring a joyful Christmas to the residents of Elizabeth House and help them fulfil their wish list!

​This year Elizabeth House has 7 moms, 5 babies (under 16 months), 2 more babies to arrive this month, and 4 children (ages 14,13, 7 and 5) living elsewhere. We welcome donations for these wish lists: 

• Each family unit has created a wish list, and you can be paired with one family unit by emailing [email protected]
• Or donate items from the Collective House Wish List, which we will place under the tree for our families to share. Please let us know by email which items you are able to provide, so that we can keep track of the list on our end.
