Hope for the Holidays supports 54 Hope Street families, raises more than $53,000 for family emergency assistance 

Hope for the Holidays provided cheer and hope to hundreds of Hope Street Margolis Family Center children and families this past December.

Thanks to the outpouring of support and generosity from our donor community, Hope for the Holidays made the following impact:

Thank you notes from a family who benefitted from Celebrate a Family for Hope for the Holidays

  • Through Celebrate a Family, 54 families received an abundance of gifts (clothing, household items, toys) for each family member, hand-delivered by our Hope Street staff "elves" — representing an almost five-fold increase over the number of families who received gifts in 2021.
  • Raised more than $53,000 for our new Hope Street Emergency Family Assistance Fund including a matching gift challenge from longtime supporter and board member Dick Oxford.
  • More than 2,000 toys were collected through the toy drive and distributed to kids of all ages.
