Give the Gift of Choice This Holiday Season.
The Trellis Society Winter Breather Program supports families and individuals with the cost of utilities, groceries, and laundry supplies during the difficult winter months.
Through this fund, people are given a “breather” from some of the financial stress the holidays can bring by offsetting the cost of some household needs, which tend to be more expensive again this year.
By taking some of the weight off people’s shoulders you empower them with the gift of choice. You provide people with the choice to spend time and energy on the things that are important to them: gifts for their children, a holiday meal with loved ones, a meaningful family experience, or travel costs to spend time with the people that matter to them.
Your donation to Trellis Society today will impact a family for years to come.
*Please know that if the generosity of our donors grows beyond the demands of the Winter Breather campaign this year, any additional donations will be reallocated to our Trellis365 fund to address the greatest needs across the agency. Thank you!
You can help people like Robin.
Robin, a single mother with a 20-year-old son and a 14-year-old daughter, had her life take a difficult turn. A health condition left her unable to work and she found herself living in her van for several months. With most of her belongings gone and no place to call home, Robin was determined to avoid the shelter system, having had a difficult experience in the past.
Some nights, her daughter stayed with friends while her son stayed at a coworker’s house. With winter fast approaching, Robin turned to Trellis for help. The Trellis team supported her to find a landlord, who welcomed her family in without waiting for a security deposit or the first month’s rent. That home wasn’t just a roof over their heads, it was a promise of stability, a second chance, and the best gift they could ever imagine. Winter Breather helped provide even more comfort that holiday season as Robin and her family settled into their new home with support for their utilities, groceries and laundry expenses.
Robin’s journey is a powerful example of the impact your kindness can have.
“Winter Breather lifted a huge weight
off my shoulders. It gave us the chance
to settle into our new home and focus
on being together as a family, instead
of worrying about bills”
