Happy Holidays from Independence House

Greetings!
This month is special for many.  It's a time to spend celebrating the holidays with their families, enjoying dinners and festivites, and giving or receiving gifts. For some, it is difficult to partake in many of  the activities and festivities others take for granted.

Independence House takes great pride to ensure that its clients and their children enjoy the holidays and receive much needed essentials.

Won't you join Independence House in our holiday spirit? Please consider giving to one or more of the opportunities described here to make the holiday season a warm and memorable one for a special family.

 
"The Giving Tree" at the Cape Cod Mall
Independence House is the recipient of "The Giving Tree" at the Cape Cod Mall during the month of December.  A tree will be on display inside the Cape Cod Mall with Independence House staff and volunteers to help you choose an ornament that  is displayed on the tree. Each ornament will contain a gift suggestions for a particular aged boy or girl.  You can shop in the mall for a gift and return it to the Independence House staff and volunteers table before you depart the mall, and we'll make sure it goes to the very lucky boy or girl.
