It's that time of year when the generosity of our communities comes shining through. As we enjoy the beauty of fall and move closer to Thanksgiving and Christmas, we feel fortunate knowing that our communities always step up to support our efforts to make the holidays magical for the children and families we serve.
There are many ways to engage during this holiday season. Whether it be through volunteering your time, purchasing gifts, or making a monetary donation. You can make a significant difference during a season that can be especially difficult for children and families suffering the impacts of trauma.
Giving Tuesday
Pies for a Purpose
Are you a little stressed because you don't have time to bake for family gatherings? Pies for a Purpose makes getting or giving Tippin's pies easier than ever! Simply purchase a $15 gift certificate and take it to any Kansas City metro area Price Chopper from October 1 through January 15, 2022, to receive a tasty pie. But the best part is that you can enjoy that pie guilt-free because $6 of every pie purchased will benefit the children and families we serve!
