CARITAS Children’s Christmas List

CARITAS is Richmond’s largest emergency shelter, sheltering up to 110 people per night, and over 1,000 people annually.

A generous mother/son duo from Harpers Mill, Teo, with the help of his mom, have taken it upon themselves to host a holiday pizza party for the homeless children (ages 1 – 18) and their families for the past several years. They also make a bag for each child to have and hand them out at the party. Harpers Mill wants to help Teo and his mom make this the greatest year yet for the children and families who need it the most this holiday season. This year they need the following donations for the pizza party, bags for the children, and for CARITAS family members (gently used items are accepted):

– Hats
– Gloves
– Scarves
– Children’s Books
– Blankets
– Chapstick
– Shaving Cream
– Men’s Deodorant
– Small Hand Sanitizers
– Little Ceaser Pizza Gift Cards
– 2 Liter Coke and Sprite

If you would like to donate, your donations can be dropped off at the Welcome Center at Harpers Mill from December 1st through the 17th between the hours of noon – 5pm every day.
