Five Ways to Give the Gift of Christmas: Giving Opportunities

This beautiful time of year often sparks in our hearts extra kindness, generosity and compassion for those less fortunate. For that we are deeply grateful and have many opportunities for you to help make Christmas special for our homeless guests!

With so many ways to give, it’s easy to share the holiday spirit with our guests at Carpenter’s Place. Read on to learn about our giving opportunities…

[Donate warm winter socks and boots!]

With the first snowfall of the season already fallen warm socks and boots are urgently needed for our guests! Men’s sizes 8-11.5 and women’s sizes 8-10 are in the highest demand. Purchase a pair or start a collection.
