Every holiday season we make it our mission, along with your help, to provide enough toys for the Children's Home Shelter for Family Safety (formerly Children's Inn) to last throughout the next year.

While you're shopping this holiday season if you could pick up an extra gift for a child at the Children's Home Shelter for Family Safety in Sioux Falls and drop it off at the gift-wrapping booth in the Macy's wing of the Empire Mall, it would be so appreciated.

Bring holiday joy to the Children's Home Shelter for Family Safety (formerly Children's Inn)

From Friday, December 2 through Christmas Eve 2022, you can also help the home just by having your gifts wrapped there. Every dollar donated goes to support the mission of the home to protect and serve victims of domestic violence and abuse.

<p>Everything you need to run your home - - from electricity to groceries to toilet paper - - is also needed to run the <a href="https://chssd.org/shelter" target="_blank">Children's Home Shelter</a>.</p><p> </p>

In fact, this is a short list of the top needs at the home right now:

  • Twin-size sheet sets
  • Bath towels and towel sets
  • Liquid laundry detergent
  • Size 5 & 6 diapers
  • Sippy cups
  • Women's  socks and underwear
  • Sweatpants and sweatshirts
  • Hair conditioner
  • Personal hygiene kits with full-size items

This is a list of food needs at Children's Home Shelter for Family Safety on a regular basis.

Women, children, and families, who are fleeing violent situations, often arrive at the shelter with only what they are wearing and carrying. The shelter not only provides safety but everything else, too.

These are Holiday Wishes for the guests this year:
