We are accepting donations in support of our programs for the upcoming holidays. We appreciate you helping our families have a happy holiday season.
Deadline to register: Tuesday, October 19.
Thanksgiving
As in previous years, we will offer Thanksgiving baskets. We are asking donors to supply a basket/bag/box of canned and dry goods. To streamline the process of distributing baskets, we will not match specific families to donors. Suggested items to include in each basket for a family of 4:
boxed stuffing
canned gravy
canned green beans
canned corn
macaroni and cheese
cranberry sauce
canned sweet potatoes
corn bread mix
brownie/cake mix or pumpkin pie filling & crust
Christmas
We will again be matching families to donors and ask that you purchase gifts for the family or families assigned to you. Gift certificates may also be purchased, if you prefer. Once we have paired each donor with the number and size of family/families requested, we will send you an email with the first name of each family member along with their ages and gender. If families have provided suggested gifts for each family member, we will also include that information. We suggest purchasing one gift per family member, with a value of approximately $30.00 per gift.
Deadline to register: Tuesday, October 19.
You may donate for both Thanksgiving and Christmas or just one of these holidays.
Financial donations
If you prefer to make a financial donation to support our holiday programs, you may do so by visiting the donation page. If giving electronically, before finalizing your donation, you will see a box just below the dollar amount asking you to enter a note. Please enter “holiday programs” there.
Important dates
To register as a donor: Fill out this form by Wednesday, October 19, or reply via email at holidays@wrhm.org, or by mail at 111 E. Waymire Ave, Webster Groves MO 63119.
Thanksgiving baskets: Please bring baskets to the Ministries office the week of November 9 (November 9-13) between 9 a.m. and noon. Place all food items for your family in a box, bag or basket. Attach your name to the outside of the container(s) so that we will be able to acknowledge your gift.
Christmas: Please bring your gifts to the Ministries office the week of December 7 (December 7-11) between 9 a.m. and noon. Please label each gift with the recipient’s first name, and place all wrapped gifts in one bag or box. Attach a label to the container stating both your name and the first name of the adult(s) in the family. If you use multiple bags/boxes, be sure to label each of them. This will ensure that each family receives the gifts from their donor family.
