Our Other Activities

For over twenty years, we have conducted a holiday party at the Interfaith Shelter for Homeless Families which is located on the grounds of the old Harrisburg State Hospital. We hold a party, arrange a vist with Santa and help him to purchase very nice gifts for the children. We typically serve 25 to 30 children each year.

We run a Northpole Hotline as a fundraiser just before the holidays. If you want to participate, go to www.NorthPoleHotline.org. We do not charge a fee but ask for a voluntary donation.

It's a very fun program and if you really want to get into the holiday spirit, volunteer to be a Santa or Mrs. Claus! Go to: www.NorthPoleHotline.org for more info (seasonal).

If you'd like to purchase a gift or donate to the events in some other way, let us know!

We also collect donations and put together 100 small gift bags for adult residents of four shelters in Harrisburg. The bags contain toiletries, jewelry and other personal items. If you are interested in donating items or helping us put the bags together, please contact us.
