Holiday Activities
Please join Monroe County United Ministries in making this a great holiday season for individuals and families who utilize MCUM's services.
Browse the catalogue of Holiday Activities we are offering this year, below:
Family Gift Program
Make a child's wishes come true by purchasing a few items off of his or her list.
Children enrolled in this program are participants in either/both Compass Early Learning Center and Your Path.
Suggested cost: $250 for a family of 3 people.
Food Baskets
During the holiday season, families experience more visitors, parties, and, in general, more mouths to feed. Help a family celebrate by preparing a themed food basket using this special list.
Too busy to make a basket?
You can donate money instead!
Food baskets are $55 each or $75 with the addition of a ham or turkey.
Art at Compass
This year, we have moved to an Amazon Gift Registry for our Arts & Crafts budget. If you would like to provide capacity for enriching art activities at Compass Early Learning Center, you can check out our registry, pick out a much-needed item, and have it sent directly to MCUM for use in our classrooms.

Merry Merch
Select from wreaths, poinsettias, and other MCUM swag to keep or to gift! A generous portion of each item directly supports MCUM's Prosperity Fund. All Holiday Greenery orders are due by October 27, 2023.
Food Drive
Host a food drive at work, with a club, at a school, or in your neighborhood. MCUM provides a list of most needed items for hosts to hand out. (10-15 drives needed, as well as commitments for specific items.)
Shop Our List!
What's on MCUM's list this year? Cleaning supplies! You can help us offset important costs associated with running a wonderful organization by purchasing a gift or two from our list - this year's theme is cleaning!
Support the Prosperity Fund
Our End of Year campaign will kick off on November 1 and will run through the end of the year. By donating to this fund, you can directly impact a family's trajectory toward financial self-sufficiency.
