Calling All Holiday Elves!

New Moms’ annual Christmas event is our most anticipated family celebration of the year! We are continuing to host “Operation Santa” — in which we collect donated gifts for families and distribute everything safely to their homes. We need you to make this year a success!

Help ensure every family in our programs has a special Christmas by donating to the gift drive or volunteering to pack the gift deliveries. Learn more about ways to get involved down below!

Help us get presents under the tree for 177 moms and 217 kids. Every young mom gets to select the perfect gifts for her family from the collection, which are then dropped off by New Moms staff!
