WNY Homes For The Holidays Inc

Homes for the Holidays was started in 2016 as a wedding charity project, but we quickly realized that the need was greater than even we could imagine. We are a 100% volunteer based organization who provide gifts bags for residents living in long term care facilities. These residents are hand chosen by their social workers as they typically do not have family, do not get visitors throughout the year, and may also be financially burdened. Each reusable bag is filled with toiletries, pajamas, slippers, puzzle books, essentials and personalized gifts. We hand deliver each bag and visit with each recipient if they are able. We also proivde other non-typical homes such as sober living houses & women's safe houses with clothing, sheets, and the items mentioned aboe. We want every resident to know they are not forgotten, especially during the holidays. We now deliver bags for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and Valentine's Day. In 2023 we delivered almost 700 bags to 23 different facilities across Western New York. Every year we strive to reach more homes, and include more residents in our visits. We genuinely thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping our cause grow so greatly!

"Our mission is to provide residents of long term care facilities and other non-typical homes with essentials, a friend in time of need, and hope for the future"
