Be Kind 5 Holiday Giving & Winter Shelter Support 2026-2027


Be Kind 5 Holiday Giving & Winter Shelter Support 2026-2027

Bringing Warmth, Hope, and Kindness to Our Community

From November 1, 2026 through December 20, 2026, Be Kind 5 will be collecting items and fulfilling holiday wish lists for local shelters, youth programs, and families in need.

Following the holiday season, our support continues through February 2027 as we provide essential winter resources to cold weather shelters and community partners serving individuals and families throughout the winter months.

How You Can Help

Together, we can make a meaningful difference by donating:

• Holiday gifts and wish list items

• Warm coats and jackets

• Gloves, hats, and scarves

• New socks

• Blankets

• Hygiene products

• Winter essentials for youth and families

• Gift cards for emergency needs

Why It Matters

The holiday season can be challenging for many families, and winter brings additional hardships for those experiencing housing insecurity. By working together, we can help ensure that individuals and families have access to comfort, warmth, and support during the months they need it most.

Request Our Current Needs List

Needs and wish lists are updated throughout the season as requests come in from our shelter and community partners.
