Bundles of Love: Care Packages for Women & Children

This holiday season, we’re coming together at Élevée Boutique to spread warmth, hope, and love to women and children in need. On Saturday, November 16th, from 12–2 PM, our community will gather to create heartfelt care packages for the families supported by St. Mary’s Center for Women and Children.

Each package will include new socks, hats, baby clothes and a toy to provide comfort during the colder months, along with a handwritten note of encouragement and a handmade beaded friendship bracelet as a personal touch of kindness. These small but meaningful gestures are designed to remind every woman and child who receives them that they are seen, valued, and loved.

The holidays can be especially challenging for families experiencing homelessness or hardship. By working together, we can bring a sense of joy, dignity, and community to those who need it most. Our goal is to not only provide essential items but also to share compassion, connection, and encouragement during a season that should be filled with light.

Join us in making a difference! Let’s build community through generosity, creativity, and love. Together, we can help women and children at St. Mary’s feel supported, cherished, and embraced this holiday season.
