Support our Holiday Assistance Project:
The mission of the Sunshine Prevention Center is to empower youth to make healthy choices, prevent or reduce substance abuse and violence, and build and strengthen connections between families, schools and communities.
Job loss, homelessness, addiction, divorce and many other challenges can make this time of year tough for many families. Sunshine is working with the local schools, businesses and communities to provide support for families during this season.
There are many ways that you can help make this time of year a little brighter for these families.
- Food Drive (donation of non-perishable items, grocery store gift cards)
- Toy & Gift Drive (toys for younger children, gifts for teens and adults)
- “Adopt a Family” (we will provide you with family names, ages and gift ideas and you do the shopping)
- Financial donations are always accepted to support Sunshine
If your family is in need:
Here at Sunshine, we understand that many different circumstances can make the holidays difficult for families: divorce, homelessness, food insecurity, work or school challenges, substance use, and more can place extra burdens on so many of us, renewing the depth of our commitment to help as many families as possible. Whether a family is struggling financially or is just overcome with responsibilities and burdens, Sunshine can help!
The ability to assist families depends on our supporters. Our priority focuses on the families currently involved at Sunshine. We will do our best to help or provide resources to families in need.
