Find your own special way to ensure that the families you support throughout the year have a joyous & heartfelt holiday season!

The holidays are a special time of year; a time of peace, harmony and goodwill. Sadly, this isn’t true for everyone, particularly individuals and families who have experienced domestic violence.

To help these families have a holiday season filled with warmth and joy, the Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center is once again sponsoring its annual Holiday Giving Program. The program allows you to give in a way that works best for your family or business. If you would like to donate, you can choose to participate in one or more of the three programs detailed below. Our families appreciate your support as do all of us here at the Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center.

Gift Cards

Gift Cards help meet the urgent needs of survivors of domestic violence, not only during the holidays but throughout the year. Suggested gift cards are for grocery stores, retail stores, and gas stations.

Adopt-a-Family

UPDATE: ALL our families have been adopted this year! We are grateful for the generous support of so many community members.

Adopt-a-Family matches you or your organization with a family in need who is being served by the Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center. When you register, we will provide you with a packet of information which includes the family’s story, ages, gender, and clothing sizes of family members, and a brief list of the family’s gift requests.
