Many families, groups, and friends of all ages, join Shalom House for holiday gift wrapping. This is a fun and enjoyable holiday activity you can do with family, friends, work associates, classmates, or with a group. You will have the opportunity to meet new people while wrapping gifts for donations to benefit the Shalom House Women’s Shelter.
Shalom House is an Emergency Shelter for Women and Women with Children, located in Harrisburg. Serving over 300 women every year; we provide shelter, food clothing, and personal care products. Most importantly, through intensive case management, we help women rebuild their lives and become self-sufficient. In 2008, we established a new program with the Veterans Administration to house homeless female veterans. Shalom House is the only agency in the State providing this service
If you have not had the opportunity to enjoy this activity, please put it on your list of “must do’s” this year. Holiday Gift Wrapping has been one of our main fundraising activities for 15 plus years. All proceeds directly benefit Shalom House Clients.
YOU can help. Many groups, and families commit to as little as two hours to a whole day of gift wrapping to end the cycle of homelessness. Individuals volunteer for shifts of 2,3 or 4 hours, between the hours of 11:00 AM and 9:00 PM. Some wrap with us several times during the season; we will work with you to find a time or shift to fit your schedule.
The booth is located in Colonial Park Mall by Auntie Anne’s pretzel stand. All supplies are provided.
