Community Gift Drive:
We’re collecting new, unwrapped gifts for Harbor House and Pillars kids (and their moms, because moms deserve a little magic, too). (Help us put together stockings for Moms— we're looking for new or gently used Christmas stocking and all manner of thoughtful stocking stuffers (gift cards, moisturizer, health & beauty products, treats/snacks, cozy socks or slippers, specialty teas or other (non-alcoholic) beverages, buttons, stickers...).
A wishlist will be posted on our website soon, as well as displayed on our in-venue Wish Tree. Stop by anytime Tuesday–Saturday (during Tardigrade’s Bookshelf hours or Velvet Fox Club Cocktail Lounge hours) to choose a wish ornament and bring back the gift when you’re able.
