The Christmas Fund raising Campaign consists of two components. One is a general appeal for support of the program. Honor a friend, loved one, or colleague by making a donation in their name. We will send them a Christmas card telling of the gift given in their name. The cards are designed by Providence House children.
Many people ask for advice about what to do when they encounter a homeless person asking for money.
The decision about whether or not to give money is an individual, personal decision. Acknowledging a person's existence by looking at them is one of most important ways to reaffirm his or her humanity at a time when homelessness seems to have stripped it away. Thus, whether or not you choose to give money, please don't look away as if the person doesn't exist.
