This month through December 10th, we’ll be helping decorate and make the YWCA’s womxn’s shelter festive for the holidays!
We’re be partnering with YWCA’s Angeline’s Day Center and supporting to help decorating this womxn’s shelter for the holidays. Angeline’s Day Center provides safety and support to womxn experiencing homelessness. More than 200 womxn each day access Angeline’s drop-in services, which includes meals, laundry, showers, lockers, and connections to community resources.
Here’s a chance to support our community and flex your creativity and crafty muscles. You’ll be responsible for creating 3-4 of the following festive decorations below:
- Gifts: Wrap large empty boxes in festive wrapping paper and bows
- Garlands: Decorate faux garlands with holiday-themed decorations such as ribbon, fake cranberries and pinecones, ornaments, etc.
- Snowflakes: Cut out paper snowflakes and tie to strings to hang in shelter
- Holiday plants & faux flower arrangements: Purchase either live poinsettias or faux plants at Michael’s, Joann, etc. and arrange a holiday-themed centerpiece.
