Local Businesses Invited to Become Holiday Angels for Youth and Families

This holiday season, Together for Youth is inviting businesses, organizations, and community partners to make a meaningful difference through its annual Holiday Angel program. The initiative helps youth and families experience a brighter holiday season while providing support that extends far beyond holiday gifts.

For many families, the holidays bring added financial pressures and difficult choices. Through the Holiday Angel program, businesses can help provide holiday gifts, winter clothing, meals, transportation assistance, household necessities, and emergency financial support for families facing challenges during the season.

Local companies can participate in several ways:

• Adopt a holiday wish list for a child or family.
• Make a financial contribution to help meet urgent and seasonal needs.
• Become a program sponsor and demonstrate a commitment to strengthening children, families, and communities.

“Businesses have an incredible opportunity to create both joyful holiday memories and lasting community impact,” said Brian Parchesky, Together for Youth President & CEO. “Every contribution helps us meet families where they are, physically, mentally, and financially, while reducing stress and creating greater stability during a time when support is needed most.”

The Holiday Angel Program connects caring businesses, employees, community organizations, and individuals with children and families in need, helping ensure they can experience hope, joy, and belonging during the holiday season. Community support not only helps fulfill holiday wishes but also provides resources that strengthen families and promote well-being.
