Home is Everything Holiday Gift Drive

Our shelves are bare and we are in need of household essentials to help ready homes for those moving into Anawim this winter from homelessness. Anawim Housing is hosting a community gift drive to collect essential household items for those moving into Anawim Housing from homelessness. Many who come to Anawim have very little - sometimes only the clothes on their back. Your donation will help us make their house a home this holiday season.

Shop online anytime with our Anawim Housing Target Gift Registry! 

Due to construction on the road in front of our building, we are strongly encouraging the usage of our Target Gift Registry where you can pick and purchase some of our highest need items and have them shipped directly to our office. We will be collecting items from our Target Gift Registry throughout the whole month of December to help us fill our shelves!
