With the holiday season in full swing, many of us are busy shopping for gifts, preparing home-cooked meals and making time for loved ones. Unfortunately, the holidays can bring new difficulties and challenges for families struggling to make ends meet. It is during this time that we are reminded of the importance of giving back. Oaks offers numerous ways to make a difference in your own community this holiday season.
1) Hold a Food or Gift Drive
You can help make holiday traditions possible for families in need of support. Hold a Thanksgiving food drive or holiday gift drive – encourage your friends, co-workers and community groups to help. We will work with you to schedule a convenient time to drop off donations at a convenient location. Visit our holiday page for a list of food and gift drive donation ideas!
Drop off locations:
770 Woodlane Road, Suite 16
Mt. Holly, NJ 08060
128 Cross Keys Road
Berlin, NJ 08009
2) Sponsor a Family or Group Home
In the true spirit of giving, sponsor a family or group home by providing gifts to ensure everyone receives something special for the holidays. Fill out the sponsorship form and you will receive an email from an Oaks team member with a wish list and drop-off details.
3) Make a Monetary Donation
Let us do the shopping for you! Share holiday cheer by making a monetary donation to support a family in need. Every donation, no matter the size, gives the gift of hope and peace to families in your community. Your donation is tax deductible.
4) Volunteer Your Time
Extra hands helping out can make all the difference this holiday season. Try donating your time and talents by volunteering with Oaks to support our mission. With your help, Oaks can continue making a direct impact in your community.
