Other Ways to Help This Holiday Season

Your generosity helps families stay warm, older adults feel remembered, and children experience the joy of the holidays.

Your help matters this holiday season

Every December, Kansas Citians like you make the season brighter for families and older adults in Phoenix Family communities. There are so many ways to share that kindness — from donating pantry items to organizing a group volunteer project.

Santa’s Pantry

Food is needed year-round, especially during the holidays. Collect nonperishable food or purchase grocery gift cards for families and older adults. Needs include canned meats, peanut butter, pasta, cereal, canned fruits/vegetables, and household staples like dish soap and laundry detergent.

Questions? Contact jmcnamara@phoenixfamily.org.

Secret Santa

Donate directly to our Adopt-A-Family and Adopt-A-Senior programs. Your gift helps purchase items for families and older adults who weren’t directly adopted this season — ensuring everyone has a gift to open.

Give now.
