Help Make It Happen

An event this size runs on volunteers and community support. Here's where you fit in.

Volunteer That Day

We need hands to sort sizes, greet families, hand out items, and keep the line moving. No experience needed — just a few hours and a warm attitude. Bilingual volunteers especially welcome.

Sponsor the Giveaway

Local businesses can underwrite socks and jackets directly, or sponsor the event as a whole. Your support puts warm clothing on real families in this community this winter.
