This event provides an opportunity for these mothers to handpick gifts for their children still in their care, allowing them an opportunity to celebrate Christmas with love and warmth.
SIGN UP TO VOLUNTEER:
As a church, we are going ALL IN to serve at the Sleigh the Holidays event. There are opportunities to volunteer for set up and tear down, to help mothers shop for their children, to help wrap gifts, to hang with kids while parents shop and so many other ways to create an awesome Christmas experience these families will never forget!
DONATE GIFTS:
If you wish to purchase and donate gifts for families to give to their kids, check out the links below!
ABOUT SHARED BEGINNINGS:
Shared Beginnings began with a desire to restore voice and choice to expectant women who are considering adoption. We link arms with these brave women, connect them to community resources, and help them make informed decisions along the way.
Our dedicated team at Shared Beginnings supports birth moms at any time in their post placement journey and assists pregnant moms considering making an adoption plan for their baby. From the first call with us and long after the adoption process is finalized, we are here for you.
