✨🎄 The Twin Oaks Reverse Advent Calendar is BACK! 🎄✨

This holiday season, we're inviting our community to turn the traditional advent calendar upside down. Instead of receiving a gift each day, give one by adding a needed item to a basket for residents of Twin Oaks Shelter. 💝

For each day leading up to Christmas, place the suggested item from our calendar into a laundry basket. By the end of the month, you'll have a collection of essentials that can make a meaningful difference for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. ❤️

🎁 When your basket is full, simply drop it off at Twin Oaks Shelter and help make the season brighter for a neighbor in need.

📄 Download a printable version of the calendar on our website under the "How You Can Help" section:
👉 https://community-action.org/housing/twin-oaks-shelter-for-homeless/

💬 Help us spread the word! Share this post with friends, family, coworkers, faith communities, and anyone looking for a simple way to give back this December.

Together, we can fill baskets with hope, kindness, and holiday cheer. 🌟

📚✏️ Help a Child Start the School Year with Confidence ✏️📚

Most-needed items include:
🎧 Headphones/Earbuds
💧 Reusable Water Bottles
🖍️ Highlighters
🧴 Liquid Glue (such as Elmer's)
✏️ Pencil Boxes/Cases
📏 Rulers
📂 Dividers
✂️ Scissors
🤧 Tissue Boxes
🧼 Clorox Wipes
👟 Gym Shoes

Every donation, no matter the size, helps remove barriers and creates opportunities for children to focus on what matters most: learning, growing, and thriving.

Please call (262) 882-3662 to speak with someone at our shelter about dropping off donations. or ship directly to our shelter located at W9665 US Highway 14, Darien, WI, United States, Wisconsin.
