“The holiday season is a time we look forward to as a chance to share the magic of the season with struggling families whose children may have otherwise felt forgotten,” said Crisis Nursery CEO, DiAnne Mueller. “We know that the holidays will look a little different this year for many families, but we hope that you will include the Crisis Nursery in your family’s holiday traditions. Stringent safety protocols to protect our staff and families, as well as a reduced volunteer force, have meant that we have had to adapt our Holiday Program this year, at a time when we are seeing unprecedented numbers of families in need.”

You can make a difference for a Crisis Nursery family facing overwhelming challenges this holiday season. There are three ways you can help:

1.     Keep a Family Warm & Housed:  More Crisis Nursery families than ever before are facing the threat of eviction and utility disconnection. A financial gift to the Crisis Nursery Emergency Fund allows us to pay a portion of the rent or utility bills for families in need (payments are made from the Nursery directly to the landlord or utility).

2.     Feed a Hungry Family:  Provide a gift card to a local grocery store to feed a Crisis Nursery family over the holidays.

3.     Holiday Magic:  Help ensure our little ones don’t feel forgotten this year. Provide a gift card for Walmart, 5-Below, Target, or a Dollar Store so that a parent can pick out a special gift for each of their little ones this holiday.

To participate in the Crisis Nursery 2020 Holiday Hearts Program, please send your check/gift cards with “Holiday Hearts” in the memo line to: Saint Louis Crisis Nursery, 11710 Administration Dr., Ste. 18, St. Louis, MO 63146. We also accept online donations at HERE 

Thank you for partnering with Crisis Nursery to spread hope and joy this holiday season!
