Hope For The Holidays
The holiday season, often seen as a time of joy and togetherness, can be incredibly difficult for those experiencing domestic violence and homelessness. As the cost of living continues to rise, the need for support grows – making it even more challenging for Nova Vita to provide both holiday cheer and urgently needed essential items for the shelter.
Your kindness and generosity can help to bring joy and comfort this holiday season to those that need it most. Be a part of the magic of Hope For The Holidays! Select an option below that is the best fit for you, your family, your business or organization.

How You Can Help
Donate
Making a financial donation has the greatest impact for Nova Vita. It allows us to fill budgetary gaps, special requests, or provide a meal for the shelter, 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, pantry staples, and other urgently needed items in the shelter helps to fill our Holiday Workshop, as well as our shelves. It’s a great way to engage your family, friends, coworkers, and community, to come together and bring the holidays home to Nova Vita. Contact us before planning your donation drive! We can provide helpful tips, custom wish lists, event promotion, and much more. Get all the information and resources you need to get started by contacting jhill@novavita.org.
Sponsor
We match your budget to a family (or families) in need and provide you with a custom Holiday Wish List. Shop for holiday essentials, and add special touches from your family to theirs! Limited opportunities available. To get started, contact Jessica Hill at jhill@novavita.org before November 27.
