Thank you for making
2020 Gifts of Joy so successful!
There were so many community groups unable to meet this year, we were concerned we wouldn’t be able to fulfill all of the wishes. We put out a call and the Lancaster community came through!!! Thank you for making MHALC’s Holiday wish come true this year. We couldn’t have done it without you!
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 gift. Give a gift of joy.
Requests for all sorts of gifts come across our desks, but it’s the simplest ones that stand out: the myriad of men and women requesting basic hygiene items like soap and deodorant; requests from children who look forward to new books or their own craft supplies; even one individual who requested a case of toilet paper because she has a hard time affording it.
GIVE FROM YOURSELF
GIVE AS A GROUP
WAYS YOU CAN HELP
You can take names of individuals and purchase gifts for them at a requested minimum of $25 per person.
You can organize a group or club to take names.
You can also give a generous donation to the project, which will help cover the cost of gifts that our staff goes out to purchase.
