know of any company that donate gifts to adult women for the holidays? I work for a non profit that deals with victims of domestic violence, mostly women. Is there any organization that would be willing to donate approximately 90 gifts for the holiday season?
You know if you call your local radio station and tell them your situation they will help you out….Good luck and keep up the great work…Happy holidays to you as well References :
As far as I know, the Holiday gifts donations are really for the children…we adults know Santa does not exist. You should be planning a great Lunch or Dinner for the adults…good music, etc…. don’t you think? References :
Yes, a lot of organizations would jump on that. A lot of companies like to do stuff like that with their employees around the holiday season. Look for companies in your area and contact their human resourse department. It is kinda late in the game, seeing christmas is in about 4 weeks, but you might still be able to find something.

I would think that some of your local churches would be willing to donate gifts for the women. Talk to the church secretary.
Contact the Avon Foundation. They are big supporters of the fight against domestic violence.

You are looking for a company willing to donate to your organization. Finding a donor will be difficult this close to the season. I suggest looking in your local area, by searching online. Without knowing your local area, I thought of Toys for Tots, Make a Wish, Salvation Army and my local news channel. I also know that the local Police League does something like this every year. Some high schools can pull it off too.
A bit of advice: 1) always check out your charities to see if they are legit.
2) type up a "request" that you can fax
3) Be specific-inviting and concise
4) fax to companies, hospitals, churches, police leagues, magazines that feature your local city, fireman’s leagues, schools, and anything else you can think of.
5) Follow up the fax with a phone call.

As had been suggested try some local stores and organizations. Local high schools might be willing to help & churches. The one individual that answered that christmas is for kids–while that is true this time of the year is hard on those women who are victims of domestic violence. They are out of the situation and are trying to pick up the pieces of their life. They are feeling worthless & lonely– sometimes just alittle something–perfume,bubble bath,body lotion,a simple blouse–something that would brighten their day and help them get through it is very helpful References :
Try a local Kiwanis club or a high school Key Club. These are both community service organizations that do just the type of thing you are talking about. You can locate a local club by going to Kiwanis.org and doing a local club search.
