Ways To Help

Three happy children More questions, Fill out our form and get a personal reply


Many children who come to Friendship House are economically and socially underprivileged. Friendship House relies on the generosity of donors to provide holiday and birthday celebrations and recreational outings which most other children take for granted. Government reimbursement covers only the most basic costs of children's care and treatment at Friendship House.
Opportunities to share in the charitable mission of Friendship House are listed below.

The annual fund supplements operating revenue and funds new program development. The Fund for Hope & Promise will support existing programs and help fund new treatment regimens. It will also offer simple amenities and recreation activities these children would not experience otherwise. Your gift will allow the loving and caring staff of Friendship House to continue its mission to provide more than safe haven, but also to offer hope and tangible possibilities for a better life.

Secret Santa

November-December
The "Secret Santa" Program provides specific Christmas presents to all of the over 700 children who use our services. Most of these kids would have few Christmas presents without the generosity of community volunteers who buy, wrap and donate gifts and toys to fulfill children's specific requests-anonymously.
Many individuals, as well as civic organizations or business' make cash contributions rather than providing presents. All donations for this purpose will directly benefit the children for Christmas.
