Seeking Elves!

To help the holidays be merry for our families and to create happy memories of choosing special gifts for their mom or their child, we are creating Sheffield Place Holiday Stores. This provides an opportunity for our families to select and wrap gifts that they have chosen. For many families, this is the first holiday season being in recovery, safe, housed and being together. The Holiday Store Wish Lists are comprised of items that our moms and children identified.

Donor-Advised Funds

Donor-advised allow the donor to receive an immediate tax deduction for the charitable contribution. The donor then recommends grants from the fund to support non-profits such as Sheffield Place on the donor’s schedule.
