Story

2023 update: Visit justgiving.com/campaign/projectroomattheinn2023 to see updated information for Christmas 2023.

Update: Thank you for your generosity! Due to your support, we have increased our goal to $45,000. Every dollar raised will provide a gift to a child who might otherwise go without and will meet urgent needs such as a warm coat or a holiday meal. Thank you for choosing to make a difference through LSSI!

Please join us in brightening a child's Christmas through Project Room at the Inn! Our goal is to raise $30,000 to provide a Christmas gift for children served by our programs. We believe that each child should know that they are loved, that God has a plan for them, and that we are called to participate in that plan.

The winter months bring many additional challenges to the families we serve. Your gift to Project Room at the Inn will provide Christmas gifts to a child who may otherwise go without. Your gift may also be used to meet some of the most critical needs that arise for children and families during the holiday season, depending on the child's unique situation. Our program staff works closely with these families to ensure that each child has a Christmas gift, and to identify sudden and urgent needs such as a warm winter coat or a car seat.
