The holidays can bring up feelings for all of us, especially those dealing with trauma and complicated histories. The Third Way staff works hard to make this time joyful and festive for all our residents. This program, which started in 2013 as Adopt a Youth, was created to make the holiday season a little brighter for the teens at Third Way Center. Four years later, in 2017, it was renamed Holiday Hope.

Each of our teens creates a wish list of items they'd like to receive as holiday gifts, and our wonderful shoppers help make their wishes come true. To be added to the volunteer shopping list, email development@thirdwaycenter.org!
