Shop our Amazon Wish List\n2. Donate Online\n3. Host your own back to school drive with your friends and family. \n  \nITEMS NEEDED: \n\nPencil bag\nCrayons\nColored pencils\nWashable markers\nMarkers\nHighlighters\nNo. 2 pencils\nPencil grips\nPencil sharpener\nGlue sticks\nErasers\nBlunt-tipped scissors\nPlastic folders\nTissues\nBackpack\nAssorted construction paper\nLunch box or bag\nPersonal organizer/ planner\nThree-ring binder\nThree-hole-punch\nWide-ruled\, one-subject notebooks\, graph paper\, multi subject notebooks\nPlastic folders\nScissors\nStandard calculator\nBlue or black pens\nBook covers\nRuler\nSubject dividers\nPost It Notes\nIndex Cards\nGift Cards (Gas\, Walmart\, Kroger\, HEB)\n\n  \nDonations can be dropped (or mailed) to: \nMontgomery County Women’s Center: 1401 Airport Rd\, Conroe\, TX 77301 (Attn: Siomara)

SUMMARY:"SHARE-A-FAMILY" Holiday Giving Program (Register Now)
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, we provide an opportunity to bring joy to a family that’s holiday season looks and sounds a little different. Through our Holiday Program\, our shelter residents and community families who have experienced domestic abuse are able to have some normalcy during the holidays through gifts donated by generous sponsors. \nWhether you are participating with coworkers or with family\, this program is a great opportunity to start a conversation about domestic violence and how it effect’s individuals in our community and gives you an opportunity to show survivors support during an often challenging time of year. \nYou can support the program by sponsoring a family or individual\, hosting a giving tree\, or making a monetary donation. \nFor three wonderful days in December\, over 100 clients and families receive gifts\, homemade cookies and hugs. They are overwhelmed by the generosity of strangers who provide holiday gifts for their families. If not for the compassion of the individuals and the companies who graciously adopt them\, the holidays would be no different than any other day on the calendar. This event is made possible by the many generous donors who sponsor families or make cash donations. \nThank you for making the season magical for all! \n  \nTO REGISTER CONTACT SIOMARAC@MCWCTX.ORG
