Greetings!

Holiday Gift with SnowOver the past few years, you and many other generous donors have helped the children touched by Women's Resource Center celebrate the holiday season with more gifts than we could ever have imagined.  Our gratitude is long-lasting, and we hope to make the impact of your gifts this year just as enduring.  
 
We are dedicating our November e-Newsletter to our new holiday gifts campaign: "Trade the Malls for Walls."
 
Trade the Malls for Walls
In lieu of wishlists full of toys, this season we ask you to collect donations to invest in family stability.  These could include gift cards to grocery stores, Target or Wal-Mart, pharmacies, and other stores where families can purchase basic items.  They might include cash donations that families can use to pay rent and utilities or make repairs to their car.  We can also use pillows, blankets, and winter-wear such as coats, mittens, and scarves for the families in our safehouse, so that they have warmth to take with them when they move into homes of their own. 
 
It is our goal to provide the equivalent of one month in rent to each family we work with through our Family Advocacy Program, so they can start 2009 with a savings reserve to help bridge the budget gaps that so often threaten family stability.

We will make sure that each child receives a gift, but we feel that having a safe place to stay and a full stomach is more valuable than a bike or Playstation could ever be.
