Every child deserves to feel the magic of the holidays. For families staying in VOA’s emergency shelters, the season can be especially challenging.
As the largest family shelter provider in Monroe County, we can accommodate up to 72 families on any given night who have nowhere else to go.
You can help bring comfort and joy to these children by donating new toys. Every gift matters and can make a big difference for a child who might otherwise go without this holiday season.
