Holiday Needs
Gifts for Kids and Moms
This Christmas, the women and children staying at Gateway Mission will experience something truly special. On December 15, we’re hosting a Christmas Shopping Night—a time where children can “shop” for gifts for their moms, and moms can pick out gifts for their children.
But we need your help to make it happen. We Need New, Unwrapped Gifts — by December 14
To give our families a meaningful and joy-filled shopping experience, we are asking for new, unwrapped gifts to be donated. Please have all gifts delivered or dropped off no later than December 14, so our team can prepare for the event.
Two Easy Ways to Give
1. Shop the Amazon Wish List
We know the holiday season is busy, so our staff—who know the kids and moms personally—have created an Amazon Wish List with items they will truly love. Click the button below, choose an item, and it will ship directly to our Women & Children’s Center.
2. Drop Off New Gifts in Person
If you prefer to shop locally, you can drop off new, unwrapped items at our Women & Children’s Center (356 Fairbanks Ave, Holland, MI 49423) by December 14.
Common Questions: Do I buy everything on the list? Can I buy extra items: While we appreciate the generosity and wanting our guests to feel extra loved this holiday season, we want all our guests to feel equally loved and valued. For this reason, we are asking that all the Adopt-a-Friend gifts contain all the items listed above with no additional gifts added.
