DONATION DRIVE

Christmas at Catholic Charities

Beginning in November 2023

We need your help filling the shelves of “Santa’s Workshop”

Santa’s Workshop is where children and parents in shelter can choose Christmas gifts for their loved ones.

Living in a shelter is stressful for families no matter when their stay is, but a stay during Christmas brings even more challenges for parents and children alike. Children wonder if Santa will know where to find them while parents worry about whether they will have even a single gift to give their kids.

Making the magic of Christmas a reality

Many of us take the magic of Christmas for granted, but for the families we serve, the opportunity to provide a sense of normalcy never goes unappreciated. With the help of caring individuals like you, Harbor House Domestic Violence Shelter and St. Anthony Family Shelter can make this Christmas memorable for all the right reasons.

Many of those we serve at Harbor House and St. Anthony Family Shelter are unable to provide Christmas gifts for their families.

You can partner with us to fill the tables of Santa’s Workshop by donating items such as:

  • $10, $15, or $20 gift cards to Dillons, QT, Walmart, Amazon or clothing stores
  • Teen gifts such as earbuds, sports equipment, makeup
  • New household items:
    • Small kitchen appliances
    • Pots and pans, silverware, dish sets, and kitchen utensils
    • Towels and bed linens​

Learn more about our shelters

Harbor House

Harbor House at Catholic Charities is more than a safe shelter for survivors of severe violence. Harbor House uses outreach advocacy services to guide survivors of abuse through the judicial, medical and DCF systems.

Harbor House provides a variety of services each year to hundreds trying to leave abusive relationships but who never step foot in the shelter. All services are provided with the goal of breaking the cycle of violence against women and their children

St. Anthony Family Shelter

St. Anthony Family Shelter is the only Wichita-area shelter designed specifically for families with minor children.

St. Anthony provides families with basic needs, assistance and support so they may gain stable housing, receive assistance with employment, and education on financial literacy, parenting and other life skills. The goal is for families to move out of shelter into housing which they can afford and sustain for a long period of time.
