Holiday Gift Drive for SafeHouse of the Desert & Harrison House

A SafeHouse representative will attend our service, talk about SafeHouse, and bring a client to illustrate what our generosity means to them.

Your generous giving will be used to purchase Target e-gift cards from our Scrip program.   SafeHouse/Harrison House recipients will use the cards to buy their own presents. Thanks to us, these youth have a little something as a source for holiday gifts.

Safehouse of the Desert is a life-saving shelter for youth ages 11 to 17 who have run away from home, have no available parent or guardian, or whose parents no longer want them. Without SafeHouse, these youth are vulnerable to human trafficking and the myriad of other undesirable elements of life on the streets.

Harrison House in Thousand Palms is SafeHouse’s transitional housing facility for young adults 18 to 21 years of age, who have limited ability and resources to live on their own. Besides housing, it provides on-site schooling, including GED classes, individual cognitive behavioral therapy, group counseling, financial education, employment assistance, and life skills. SafeHouse’s transitional living programs serve approximately 40 youth and their children annually.
