Frequently Asked Questions      

 How can I help Northeast’s youth and families this holiday season?

You can help by:

Making a donation to the Holiday Hope Fund so we can purchase gift and food cards for our families.

Raising money at work, at school, at home and in the community to donate to the cause.

Purchasing and bringing in a gift for someone from our wish list.

Ordering a gift from our Walmart gift registry.

Encouraging your company, family, and friends to join you! 

 Where will my monetary donation go?

Your donations will help families learn the shopping, budgeting and planning skills they’ll need to thrive on their own. Our highly trained staff will teach each head of each household  proper food and gift shopping and budgeting strategies. The impact of your gift will be felt both this holiday season and in the months and years to come, as parents use their new skills to build better lives for their families.   

How is Holiday Hope different from other holiday giving programs?  

The painful reality of poverty affects more youth and families in our area each year.   In order to brighten the holidays of as many of our friends and neighbors as possible, we developed a new program.   The Holiday Hope Fund helps us help others not only through giving gifts, but by creating a way for parents to provide for their children while learning the skills they’ll need to stand on their own. In its first year, Holiday Hope enabled us to help more people than ever before and we’re aiming even higher this year!
