Throughout the year, thousands of women and children bravely reach out to Rose Brooks Center for safe haven. Holidays are difficult for families struggling with domestic violence, and you can be a part of the courageous journey of a special family in shelter. We often see this time of year through the eyes of a child, and often the children in our emergency shelter are unsure if Santa will find them. The women seeking support don’t know how they will provide their children with gifts during an unsettling time.
You can ensure that Rose Brooks Center supports every woman and child by participating in our special Holiday Store, where new gift items are collected for families staying in our shelter.
Please review our wish list below and keep our Holiday Store in mind as you shop for the holiday season.
