Holiday Celebration
Help The Night Ministry give the gifts of hope and warmth this holiday season with a drawstring bag! Distribution begins the week of December 14!
Backpacks
Drawstring backpacks should be approximately 14” x 16”. Simple nylon backpacks are great. Most clients prefer dark-colored backpacks. All items must be new. Please be respectful of our diverse client base, keep backpacks secular, and omit any notes or cards. Contact Maya at maya@thenightministry.org.

Client Gifts
We have a wish list of items handpicked by clients currently living in The Night Ministry’s Open Door Shelter programs: Interim Housing, Parenting with Purpose, and The Crib.
Please contact maya@thenightministry.org for the current list of needed items — including hoodies, headphones, game consoles, and toys (for children in the Parenting with Purpose program).
We need volunteers to help sort through donated items, assemble the backpacks, and check that nothing is missing. We also need volunteers to make a meal during the times when our Outreach & Health Team (and Santa) will be distributing the backpacks.
We have weekday options for dropping off backpacks, supplies, gift cards, or gifts; please reach out to Maya at maya@thenightministry.org
