Hope For The Holidays

For those experiencing domestic violence and homelessness, the holiday season can be an overwhelming and stressful time. As the cost of living continues to increase, this is putting an additional strain on Nova Vita to not only fill requests for holiday help, but to also fill the need for basic wish list items. Nova Vita needs your help.

You can make a difference for women and their families by helping this holiday season. Select an option below that is the best fit for you or your organization, and help bring the spirit of the holidays to Nova Vita.

How You Can Help

Donate
Making a financial donation has the greatest impact for Nova Vita. It allows us to fill budgetary gaps and special requests to ensure that all needs are met, not only just over the holiday season, but year round. To get started click here.

Host
Hosting a donation drive for new toys, gift cards, and urgently needed items in the shelter helps to fill our Holiday Workshop, as well as our shelves. It’s an incredible way to come together and connect our community’s kindness with the needs of our families at Nova Vita.

Please contact us to receive a custom curated wish list or donation drive theme to ensure that all shelter needs are met. We can offer helpful tips, customized wish lists, and event promotion! Get all the information and resources you need to get started by contacting our Holiday Elf, Jessica Hill at jhill@novavita.org.
