Holiday Helper Program
The Holiday Helper program helps families who are currently receiving support from the Greater Minneapolis Crisis Nursery celebrate the winter holiday season. Each year, the program provides parents with gift cards so they can purchase holiday presents and meals for their family.
Who Can Participate
The Holiday Helper program is available to families currently being served by Greater Minneapolis Crisis Nursery. During the month of December, if your child stays at the Nursery, you receive home visits, or you are receiving other ongoing support, you may be eligible to participate.
How It Works
Families enrolled in Nursery programs receive gift cards to stores such as Target or Walmart. Gift cards are distributed by the Nursery staff, who will contact families directly to share details.
