Holiday Gifts and Crafts Drive for Women's Empowerment

During this difficult year, you can bring joy to formerly homeless women and children in Sacramento this holiday season by contributing to Women’s Empowerment’s Holiday Gifts and Crafts Drive. Women’s Empowerment is seeking 300 unstuffed gift bags and specific fillers for children, teens and women. Gifts for teens and women are especially needed. The organization also needs craft supplies to provide a Craft Party in a Box for each family since this year we cannot hold our annual craft party for women and children to make holiday gifts for their loved ones.

For those interested in making a financial donation toward a gift bag, the average cost is $40, but any amount helps. The group also needs extra $15-$20 gift cards for Target, Walmart and grocery stores for emergency needs throughout the year. For a list of gift and craft needs, click here. Items are needed by Dec. 8.

Women’s Empowerment’s programs combine employment readiness, self-esteem courses, health classes and services, support services and paid job training to help women overcome homelessness across diverse ages, races and cultures.
