As families and adults are paired in USHS programs and more interim housing sites come online, there is an increase in the need for holiday gifts this year.
Pasadena, CA, Dec. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — USHS is one week away from holding its annual Holiday at the Station, a day of celebration, community, and the opportunity for parents and guardians to provide gifts to their children this holiday season.
Through the generosity and passion of community donors, USHS can provide gifts to the children participating in interim and permanent housing.
“Our community shows up when we need them most. We have been lucky to provide gifts to individuals and families every year for the past seven years,” said Mario Galleano, VP of Development at Union Station Homeless Services. “We are expected to provide 1,200 gifts this year and rely on the participation and generosity of our community to help make this happen.”
Holidays at the Station is about community. Families participate in crafts, and cookie decorating and enjoy a meal together. Holiday music and movies play in the background providing the perfect ambience to get into the holiday spirit. It’s as fun for adults as it is for children.
You can bring holiday cheer by providing items for our holiday drive! USHS is looking to collect:
- An assortment of toys
- New clothes for all ages
- Books for all ages
- Gift cards for adults
- Gift wrapping supplies
Your generous donation will bring holiday joy to many families and individuals in programs that provide a place to call home.
