Brighten spirits by becoming a Holiday Helper

User: DePaul

Submitted: Tuesday, November 06, 2012 1:03 PM

With the holidays less than two months away, DePaul, a not-for-profit community support organization based in Gates, is seeking the community’s support for its annual Holiday Helpers Program. Individuals and service organizations can “adopt” clients from DePaul’s mental health residential programs, and in some cases, their children and grandchildren.

Participants can select from items on a wish list or choose to donate generic gifts such as hats, gloves, scarves, personal care items or socks.

DePaul serve some 5,000 people annually in programs that encompass mental health residential and treatment services, senior living residential services, programs for those with developmental disabilities, addiction prevention and support programs, vocational programs and affordable housing.

For more information about the Holiday Helpers Program or to volunteer, please contact Amy Cavalier at (585) 426-8000, ext. 3102.
