Omaha Home for Boys Requests Donations for Project Christmas Joy
Omaha Home for Boys (OHB, www.OHB.org) is holding its annual holiday gift and essentials drive, Project Christmas Joy, and is asking the public to help make the holidays special for area youth, young adults, children, and families. Project Christmas Joy is taking place through December 7 with a goal to provide every client at OHB with both necessities and a special gift at Christmas.
Some of the most critically needed items include hygiene items, cleaning products, laundry supplies, kitchen essentials, diapers, and wipes. Some of the wants of OHB’s youth include gift cards (Wal-Mart, TJ MAXX, Kohls, McDonald’s, Quik Trip, Burger King, Uber, Auto Zone), body spray, lotion, nail polish, backpacks, wallets, purses, socks, and blankets.
There are a couple of ways that you can support Project Christmas Joy and help needy youth and families in the community. Monetary gifts can be given online at OHB.org/joy or items can be purchased via the “Project Christmas Joy for OHB” Amazon Wish List and shipped directly to OHB.
Through programs focusing on education, housing, employment, basic life skills, and mental and behavioral health, Omaha Home for Boys helps youth, young adults, and families transition from a state of crisis to one of safety and growth.
