Holiday Hope Chest

This year, MIFA's Holiday Hope Chest project will provide books for the children (ages 0 to 18) in MIFA Housing Opportunities. These families are transitioning out of homelessness and struggling to learn budgeting and other valuable life skills that will help them live productively and independently in the future.

 

In many cases, resident families do not own a single book. Holiday Hope Chest accepts book donations from individuals and businesses, then passes those gifts along to the children.

 

Thanks to our supporters, Holiday Hope Chest makes the holidays a little brighter for MIFA's children.
