DONATION DRIVE FOR HARBOR HOUSE
stuff the box
Nov 1 – Nov 14
“My heart is always full this time of year because it helps restore my faith in humanity as I see our community come together in support of the families we serve. Every donation received goes to our clients and their children when they may have had to leave everything behind.”
– Nikka, Harbor House Advocate
You can help Stuff the Box with donations for Harbor House Domestic Violence Shelter at Catholic Charities.
What is Stuff the Box?
The Stuff the Box campaign helps gather personal hygiene items, cleaning supplies, clothing basics, household items and more to help the children and women who come to Harbor House with literally nothing. In the past year, Harbor House provided nearly 9,200 days in shelter for 113 survivors and 123 children escaping domestic violence.
