Holiday Baskets 2026

Since 1983, Community Resource Center’s Holiday Baskets program has been providing relief to households in need during the holiday season. With the support of our compassionate community, our 44th Annual Holiday Baskets Program will help families celebrate the season while easing financial stress, allowing them to focus on essentials like rent and utilities.

For more details and information on how you can help support Holiday Baskets, please visit the program website. 

Your contribution to Holiday Baskets will help brighten the holidays for families, seniors, and unsheltered individuals in our community. Please consider a gift today to help ensure that everyone in our community experiences the joy and warmth of the holiday season.

Since 1983, Community Resource Center’s Holiday Baskets program has been providing relief to households in need during the holiday season.

Last year, thanks to our supporters, hundreds of people received food, blankets & gifts during Holiday Baskets.

2025 Holiday Baskets participants shared:

“This brightened all of our lives immensely.”

“I find myself in a very hard spot right now, living in my car and in between jobs. I was able to get some warm pajamas for the cold nights and a luxurious blanket that I can’t wait to use!”

“This allowed our family to have a joyful Christmas without the stress from a lack of funds to enjoy the season.”

“It means so much to me and my family, the contributions, donations, community, volunteers and staff have all come together in one cause during a special time of year. It’s magical!”
