This year, we are excited to announce that we are collecting donations specifically for the Women’s & Children’s Shelter of New Orleans. Many families arrive with very little to nothing, which means there are so many meaningful ways we can support them this holiday season!

Here’s several ways on how YOU can help:

1. Bring a new unwrapped toy or stuffed animal for a child.
2. Purchase a higher-value item from the Shelter’s Amazon wishlist (for children 12 and under).
3. Support older kids (ages 13–18) with items from their wishlist—popular requests include Legos and gift cards for fast-food, pizza, Sephora, and shoe stores.
4. Show love to the moms with toiletry gift sets, slippers or slipper socks, robes, simple career jewelry (watches or earrings), or gift cards.
5. Adopt a family and provide 3–4 items tailored to their children’s needs and desires (contact Angela Aspiazu for more information).
6. Donate wrapping supplies such as paper, bows, tape, gift bags, and tissue paper.
7. Get your organization involved! Multiply your donation exponentially simply by telling others.

All items must be dropped off at the December 15 meeting, or you may arrange for pick up until December ? from your home or organization by contacting Angela Aspiazu at 504-330-6123. Donations will be delivered to the Shelter on Friday, December 18. The moms will then have the chance to “shop” for their children and wrap each gift with love, restoring a sense of dignity, joy, and holiday magic to families who are facing unimaginable challenges.
