Essential needs and toys for families in low-income housing needed! Still got time!

Save to Favorites

Our residents are in need! Due to employment loss, pandemic challenges from the last two years and increased financial burden, food donations, essential winter items (gloves/hats, winter jackets for all sizes), and toys for families with children are requested. To some of our children and teens, the holiday season brings much-needed joy and comfort; to others with financial limitations and job loss, it brings added stress and burden to figure out ways to help celebrate the season of togetherness and expectations from Santa. Teens who are also in need of gifts are oftentimes left out due to their age. We hope you can bring us joy, comfort, and generosity to help our families. The most basic needs of food are also continuing to be a challenge to our families and within our immigrant communities. Share the joy of the season with our residents.

You can purchase and create your own gift bags, including a homemade card if you wish to send positive messages of healing and peace.

Items could include:

winter gloves/hats/warm socks or cabin socks,
Winter coats (all sizes)
non-perishable food items
toys for all ages
teen gift cards/hoodies/sweatpants of all sizes.
House slippers for seniors are much needed-Medium to XL large sizes.

Your donation will help our community sustain lives for all. Donations will be accepted in the Central office of AEON, 901 N 3rd St Suite 150. Please contact Mary Ann Prado Resident Connection's Manager at 612-327-5219 or maprado@aeonmn.org for more information.
