The holidays can be especially difficult for adults and children who’ve experienced domestic violence. But with help from our community, families served by Raphael House can have a safe and hopeful season!
You can support survivors during the end of year by providing gifts and items through our Holiday Program, or donating through the Willamette Week Give!Guide to ensure our life-saving services are always available when survivors need them most.
Read on below to see different ways you can engage this end of year – whether as an individual, or as a part of a group!

Holiday Program
We need your help to provide survivors with toys, gift cards, and essentials this December!
The holidays can be especially difficult for those who have escaped domestic violence. That’s why each year we help brighten the season for 195+ families by inviting survivors to pick out gifts for themselves and their children.
Support as a Company or a Group
Organizing a Holiday Drive with coworkers or groups is a great way to make a difference! Both virtual and in-person options are available, and we provide everything you need to make it easy – including Physical Giving Tree Kits (paper ornament set with gift requests), Shop-for-Survivors Registries, and Amazon Wish-Lists.
Or, consider sponsorship! Engagement levels vary, and include business recognition in our extensive communications (8,900+ followers across 4 social media platforms and email marketing to a listserv of 2,200), on event materials (distributed to hundreds of supporters, representing dozens of local businesses), group volunteer opportunities, and more.
Support as an Individual
Looking to support our Holiday Program as an individual? It’s easy!
Contribute gifts and critical supplies – by purchasing most-requested items from our online registry, and having them shipped directly to Raphael House. Or go shopping yourself with our printable Wish List, and deliver items to our Donation Drop-off events.
You can always also help survivors stay safe, healthy, and housed by making a gift online to support our programs!
Lastly, connect to your community to fundraise for families, by utilizing one of our personalized online giving pages or social media tools to get your whole network involved.
