It was a magical holiday season, thanks to the incredible support of our caring community! The warmth and kindness you shared through holiday gifts, festive meals, and cold-weather gear have made an enormous difference in the lives of our clients. As we continue on through this winter season, let’s carry the spirit of giving and compassion forward.
We have several brutal cold weather months ahead of us in New England, and your ongoing donations of cash, winter apparel, socks, and hygiene items will not only help ease people’s suffering but affords them dignity, comfort, and the knowledge that there is a wonderful community who believes in them.
Thanks for holding onto hope and for helping to provide individuals and families in crisis a critical safety net, basic essentials, and the support they need to find housing, health, recovery, and hope with Victory Programs.
On our Winter Wish List, you’ll see items requested by those we serve. You can see the complete list below or by visiting our Amazon Gift Registry.
