Holiday Boutique:

For this special annual event, we collect toys and gifts for both adults and children to help ease the burden of gift giving during the holiday season. We create an event that lasts several days and gives our clients the opportunity to come to our offices to "shop" (for free) for gifts for their kids and themselves. Last year, over 500 individuals received gifts thanks to the generosity of our community. 


Backpack Drive:

Through our annual Backpack Drive we collect school supplies and backpacks for our clients and their children of all ages. The drive typically runs from mid-July through late-August. In addition to collecting school-related items, there is also an opportunity for volunteers to help assemble bags. Then right before school starts, our clients come to pick out their backpacks! Thanks to the support of many individuals and corporate partners in the community, this year we handed out close to 350 backpacks!

 

Mother's Day and Father's Day:

MSP loves celebrating mothers and fathers! We are always looking for ways to support our clients that have children, and our Mother/Father's day parties are a great way to spread joy. We often collect small giveaways to distribute at the events such as self care items, snacks and reusable water bottles, and welcome partners from the community to help with this endeavor.
