Gifts For Friends
Christmas Collection Drive
We would love your support of gifts for adults, teenagers and children. We will then share these gifts with refuges and agencies supporting those who have been impacted by domestic and violence and still needing support.
We want Christmas to be a special time full of love, happiness and gifts for those in our communities we support.
Back to School Drive
Being a kid can be tough. Being a kid when things aren’t great can be even tougher.
Now in its seventh year, the Friends with Dignity annual Back to School Drive helps support our Little Friends in refuge to stand out for all the right reasons this coming school year.
