The Community Relations Committee of the Board of Joseph’s House & Shelter has already begun to plan the 31^st Joseph’s House Winter Walk for the Homeless. The Winter Walk is our only major fundraiser. Coming at the end of the year, your support of this event truly ‘balances our books.’

We encourage people to pre-order their Holiday Wreaths, which are now offered at various price ranges depending on the amount of decoration

• Standard: $20.00
• Premium: $25.00
• Deluxe: $30.00

Pre-ordering helps us place a more accurate order, ensuring that the wreaths are the absolute freshest they can be!

Please consider becoming a member of our 2011 Honorary Committee. Donor levels include:

• Member: $125.00.
• Supporter: $150.00 - $499.00
• Advocate: $500.00 - $999.00
• Friend: $1,000.00 - $2,999.00
• Sponsor: $ 3,000.00 +

Honorary Committee members are listed publicly at all event functions unless otherwise requested and contributors receive complimentary tickets to the Kick-Off Reception.

We’re requesting contributions for our Silent Auction and Raffle—can you help? Raffle contributions should be in the form of a “theme basket”, which will then be raffled at the Kick-Off Reception. Suggestions for baskets may be:  a wine and cheese basket, a basket of soaps, moisturizers, shampoos and scents, a children’s basket of books, stuffed animals, colors and CDs or DVDs or a “chocolate basket” of Godiva, Lindt, Raffelo etc.
