Whether you are looking to donate or volunteer, there are many ways to support Harvest Home moms and babies this holiday season.
Host a Holiday Meal
Create a seat at the table for the harvest home residents.
Sponsor and serve a festive holiday meal for approximately 20 moms, babies, and children at Harvest Home. Opportunities are available for:
Thanksgiving Dinner
Christmas Eve Dinner
Christmas Morning Breakfast

Sharing a holiday meal is a meaningful part of rebuilding family traditions. These gatherings remind each mom that she is seen, valued, and worthy of celebration while creating special holiday mealtime memories she can carry forward with her children for years to come.
Sign up as an individual, family, or group by emailing info@harvesthomela.org.
Family Giving Experience (Sponsor a Family)
Help make the holidays brighter for moms and their families.
The holiday season is a time to gather with loved ones and exchange gifts to show our love and care. Through our Family Giving Experience, you can help make that joy possible for a Harvest Home alumna and her children.
Supporters are invited to sign up to purchase holiday gifts for a Harvest Home alumna and her children, or we can match you with more than one family, depending on your capacity and how much you’d like to give. We’ll provide you with a personalized wish list created specifically for the family. You’ll get the opportunity to shop for meaningful gifts that reflect each family member’s interests, needs, and holiday wishes.
To help provide a meaningful holiday experience for each family member, we recommend budgeting at least $100 per family member. This allows you to fulfill a range of items from each personalized wish list while helping ensure that every mom and child has something special to open during the holiday season.
Once you’ve purchased the gifts, we request you to wrap them and drop them off at our Holiday Party, where they’ll be delivered to the families.
Whether you’re giving as an individual, gathering friends or family to shop together, or participating as a group, your generosity can help create a holiday filled with joy and dignity.
Give the gift of a brighter holiday and help make this season unforgettable for a Harvest Home family.
