The Holiday Season Has Arrived: How You Can Make an Impact at Solutions for Change

The holiday season is here!

For many of us, the holidays are filled with traditions we look forward to every year: choosing the perfect Halloween costume, gathering around the Thanksgiving table, watching children open presents on Christmas morning, and spending time with the people we love.

For families at Solutions for Change, these moments can carry even greater meaning.

Our families are working hard to create stability, build self-sufficiency, and break the cycle of homelessness and dependency. The holidays are an opportunity for our community to show their support - not simply by providing things, but by helping our families experience the sense of normalcy, celebration, and belonging that everyone deserves.

Start the Season with a Little Halloween Magic

Halloween is a time for kids to have fun, dress up, and simply be kids. This year, our community can help make that possible for the children and parents at Solutions for Change through our Halloween Costume Drive!

Halloween Costume Drive: October 1 – October 21

Provide a Thanksgiving Meal

As Thanksgiving approaches, our focus turns toward one of the most meaningful traditions of the season: gathering around a table with family.

Our Thanksgiving Box Drive gives community members an opportunity to help provide Thanksgiving dinners for families at Solutions for Change. A donated meal may seem like a simple gesture, but sharing a holiday meal together can create a moment of connection, gratitude, and celebration during a family's journey toward a more stable future.

This Thanksgiving, consider bringing your family, workplace, church, or community group together to participate.

Thanksgiving Box Drive: November 2 – November 13

Help Create Christmas Morning Memories

We wrap up our holiday drives with our Christmas Toy Drive - where community members help make the holidays brighter for families at Solutions for Change. From gifts and needed items to volunteering and organizing a drive of your own, there are many ways to turn holiday generosity into something tangible for our families.

For children especially, these traditions matter. A gift under the tree, a stocking filled with surprises, or a special holiday activity can become a memory they carry with them for years to come.

Christmas Toy Drive: November 23 – December 17

A costume can bring a child joy.

A Thanksgiving dinner can bring a family together.

A Christmas gift can create a lasting childhood memory.
