StartAnew’s 2026 Community Holiday Campaign

A Season of Giving, Community & Connection

At StartAnew, we believe everyone deserves to feel welcomed, valued, and supported throughout the holiday season.

Through our 2026 Community Holiday Campaign, we are bringing individuals and families together through shared meals, youth gift-giving opportunities, essential resources, and community partnerships.

Our initiatives include A Seat at the Table community dinners, the Youth Holiday Gift Shop, Toys for Tots, and Wrapped in Warmth.

Whether you’re seeking support, interested in volunteering, or looking for ways to give, we invite you to join us in strengthening our community.
