Holiday Giving
Find out more about our holiday giving programs to support our clients and their families throughout Thanksgiving and Christmas. You can help fulfill a wish list, provide a holiday meal, or host a donation drive or holiday festivity to support those affected by domestic violence.
For more information or details on our holiday giving programs, please contact our office at (559) 237-4706.
Donations are essential to help with funding our daily operations throughout the year, including the holiday season. Our Safe Houses are usually at full capacity over the holidays as this is often a time of year when family stress piles up, finances are tight and these frustrations lead to violence at home. In a year, the Marjaree Mason Center serves over 8,000 adults and children affected by domestic violence . You can support our efforts by making a donation online or mailing a check addressed to: Marjaree Mason Center, 1600 M Street, Fresno, CA 93721.
Second to monetary donations, one of our greatest needs during the holiday season is GIFT CARDS! As much as we work in advance to collect holiday "wishes" from those in our programs, times of transition and healing are hard, and you don't always know how tomorrow's needs will differ from today's.
Gift cards allow our clients to purchase what they need, whether it's something special for themselves, a gift for their children, or essentials like food and household items. Please consider donating gift cards to the Marjaree Mason Center so that we may utilize them for our clients over the holiday season!
Through our annual Trees of Hope program, our community helps fulfill holiday wishes for those affected by domestic violence. We are currently working with our clients to collect wishes for this year. Please check back for our Trees of Hope Amazon Wishlist.
We ask that gifts arrive unwrapped - they will be sorted to be given directly to the child, teen or adult that asked for that gift. If you can provide wrapping paper or gift bags with your gift, the family members can be a part of the giving making your gift an extra special part of their holiday!
Marjaree Mason Center safe houses are consistently at capacity during the holiday season. Help make sure our most needed items are continually stocked, allowing us to best serve victims of domestic violence. Some items that are constantly in need include brand new twin and full size linens, pillows, towels, full-size shampoo/conditioner, and baby products/diapers sizes 4, 5, and 6. If you or your group are interested in hosting a donation drive this holiday season, please contact us at (559) 237-4706.
Donations are accepted at our downtown location (1600 M Street) Monday - Friday between 8:30am- 4:30pm.
For more information on our most urgently needed items or to coordinate a donation drive, contact Victoria Hindes at (559) 487-1317 or email victoria@mmcenter.org.
Some groups or businesses – large and small - hold events of their own to benefit victims of domestic violence. For example, annual toy drives, children's Christmas parties, wine tastings, golf tournaments and hosted parties – all to benefit the Marjaree Mason Center. To host a Fundraiser this holiday season complete our Fundraising Commitment Form and submit it to victoria@mmcenter.org. All signage with MMC logo must be approved prior to the event.
