Gifts of Joy 2024!
Help put the Happy in the Holidays!
Every year, with the help of the generous folks in the Lancaster Community, we bring holiday gifts to over 450 people who struggle with mental illness and would otherwise be forgotten. Along with the gifts, the recipients also receive hope, and the knowledge that there is someone who cared for them and wishes them well!
How To Contribute A Gift
Through the MHALC’s Annual Gifts of Joy Project, we receive referrals for holiday gifts from mental health caseworkers. The children and adults who receive these gifts have two things in common: they have a mental health diagnosis and will not be receiving any other gifts this holiday season.
Request a name with a wish list to begin shopping for a $25 – $30 gift or consider making a Monetary Donation today!
