Host a Donation Drive

Winter can display some of the harshest weather conditions for our neighbors who are homeless. Help us provide them with the supplies they need by hosting a donation drive.

In addition to the items listed at the link below, the men and women we serve need the following:

  • Hand and boot warmers
  • Hats, gloves, scarves
  • Winter coats
  • Winter boots
  • Winter socks
  • Thermal underwear
  • Sleeping Bags
  • Blankets

Decorate the Mission

Help us make the mission feel homey and festive through decorations!

Here are some ways you can help us with this:

  • Color Thanksgiving or Christmas placemats
  • Decorate a Wall of Gratitude and a Wall of Joy
  • Create and donate simple table centerpieces for our dining hall
  • Donate wreaths that can be used around our facilities
  • Decorate Christmas trees
  • Let your creativity shine and share your ideas!

While all of these decorations go up, we will also need help taking them down.

To decorate the mission with us, please contact Sherri Gould by emailing sgould@eriecitymission.org.

All volunteer opportunities can be done individually or as a group. Consider volunteering side-by-side with friends, co-workers, fellow church members, school groups, professional or civic organizations, family, and acquaintances.



If there are other ways that you would be interested in supporting the Mission during the holidays, or any time of year, please contact Sherri Gould, volunteer coordinator, at sgould@eriecitymission.org or 814-452-4421 x242.
