Santa's Workshop? Or the Laurel House Conference Room?

It's beginning to look a lot like you-know-who's workshop here at Laurel House, as our conference room is filled more than a sleigh with brand new toys.

Thanks to our generous donors, we have an abundance of toys to give to the children in our housing and counseling programs during the holiday season. Already, the children have enjoyed several festive events in celebration of Hanukkah, Christmas, and soon, Kwanzaa.

We now have more than enough toys for the kids, but if you are still wishing to support the youngest survivors of domestic violence, please consider our Sponsor a Day in the Children's Program campaign. Here's how it works:

It costs approximately $180 per day to operate our children's program.

By Sponsoring a Day, your donation pays for needed supplies for the children's playroom at the shelter, funds a trained children's advocate to work with the moms and kids in our transitional housing program, and helps to make it possible for a Laurel House staff member or volunteer to supervise the children in the shelter to give the moms a small, but much appreciated, break.

You can sponsor a full day in the children's program for $180, a half day for $90, or a quarter of a day for $45.

This is a great way to recognize birthdays and anniversaries all throughout the year, or to remember someone special in your heart.
