The holidays at MICAH House (themicahhouse.org) were filled with warmth, joy and gratitude thanks to the incredible generosity of local businesses, organizations and community supporters. Every child, parent and single woman staying at MICAH House had a merry and bright Christmas.

Through the kindness of donors, parents were able to shop for gifts for their children from an abundance of donations. These gifts were then wrapped by volunteers, creating a magical experience for children on Christmas morning. These contributions ensured a joyful holiday for all.

MICAH House extends its deepest gratitude to the businesses and organizations that hosted inKind drives and supported the shelter during this holiday season. That dedication and generosity has made an immeasurable impact on the lives of MICAH’s clients.

While the holidays were an undeniable success, MICAH House remains thankful for the year-round support of the community. This ongoing commitment allows it to provide shelter, resources and hope to families and individuals in need throughout the year.

Thanks for helping make the season bright for those who call MICAH House home. If one is interested in hosting an inKind drive throughout the year, visit the MICAH House website, themicahhouse.org, to learn more, or contact Kassidy Wolbach, Marketing and Communications Coordinator, at kwolbach@themicahhouse.org.
