Canyon Creek Services opens holiday gift sponsorships for shelter families Nov. 16
CEDAR CITY - Starting Monday, Nov. 16, residents can sign up to buy holiday gifts for a family staying at the Canyon Creek Services shelter, according to the nonprofit's Holiday Assistance page. Canyon Creek serves people affected by domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking, its Giving Machine page says.
What it means for you
- Sponsor a family: From Nov. 16, an online Angel Sponsor form lists families and their gift requests. Gifts are due at the main office by Dec. 16.
- Thanksgiving boxes: The group wants uncooked ingredients such as small turkeys or hams, canned vegetables, boxed mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy and roasting pans for clients in its housing program. Donors are asked to fill out an online form first.
- Prepared dishes: Family-style dishes for shelter residents are arranged through Trish Littleton at trish@canyoncreekservices.org. Online gifts marked "Thanksgiving Meal" buy meals.
- Giving Machine: Choose Canyon Creek at the Light the World Giving Machine at Red Cliffs Mall in St. George from Nov. 16 through Dec. 31.
In-kind donations go to the main office at 2069 N. Main St., Suite 202, not the shelter, and the group asks donors to call 435-572-0977 first, according to its Current Needs page.
