2009 Holiday Benefit Party at Gilda's House

OWA Holiday Benefit Party

---

Celebrate the season together at our annual members-only Holiday Benefit Party. Each year we get together in the first or second week of December to celebrate and to contribute to a good cause.

Bring a gift

Gifts brought to the party are donated to the Hamilton Family Center. The Hamilton Family Center is a San Francisco-based organization focused on returning families to independent living and assisting families and individuals in maintaining their housing.

It is now the largest provider of shelter and services for homeless families in San Francisco . More than 250 people (60% of whom are children) sleep in the residential programs each night. They offer tutoring and recreational activities to hundreds of kids each year through their children's services and help families find housing through their housing program, First Avenues. And they offer comprehensive onsite support services to help 125 residents maintain stable housing.

Check donations are also accepted. You may also donate online. Hamilton Center is interested in clothing, books, paper and pens, toys and electronic gadgets for grownups and children of all ages. The following is a wish list of gifts given to us in 2006 still applicable, no doubt, this year.
