We are no longer accepting donations on this campaign, but there are other ways for you to support us today!
Lend your helping hands to make this a hopeful holiday for our neighbors
Each year, Seton Center hosts a Helping Hands program for local families. Participants will receive $50-$75 in grocery gift cards at Thanksgiving and/or Christmas, as well as the opportunity to choose a toy for each child ages infant-12 years old or a $25-$50 gift card for children 13-17.
Over the last few years, our needs have increased as the number of families applying to the program grows. With the way inflation continues to rise, we do not see an end to this trend and in fact, we are finding that the gift cards we are able to provide do not cover meal costs as well as they used to. But we continue on, as best we can, because our community needs us.
Can we count on you to be there with us, giving hope for the holidays?
We will use your generous gift to purchase gift cards in $25 increments from Jubilee, Food Lion, and Weis for families to use toward their holiday meal. We will also purchase Walmart and Target gift cards on your behalf for teenage participants at Christmas.
With you on our side, we will make this Thanksgiving and Christmas happy and hopeful for a lot of families!
*If you would like to send $25 gift cards from these select stores in lieu of a cash donation, please mail them or drop them off to Seton Center at 226 East Lincoln Ave, Emmitsburg, MD 21727.
