help Make the holidays happy
for families served by sojourner!

Help us provide a festive shopping experience for our clients this holiday season by supporting Holiday Shoppe — a beloved tradition supported by generous donors like you that allows Sojourner clients to “shop” for gifts as we head into the holiday season!

How it works

Clients who have received services in the last six months are invited to participate in this free and festive shopping experience. Each Client will be allowed to select two items for each family member, along with one gift card per household.

On average, our Clients have 2-3 children, so we will be aiming to distribute 8-10 gifts per family. Our goal is to serve at least 100 families in this year’s Holiday Shoppe.

how you can help

Purchase items on Amazon using Sojourner’s Holiday Wish List. If you buy from this list, gifts will be shipped directly to Sojourner
