The twinkling lights and joyful carols of December remind us of the warmth we can bring to others. This Christmas season, Freedom House continues its mission of providing shelter and hope to families in need – but we can’t do it without your help. Every gift you share helps transform an ordinary winter evening into a moment of Christmas magic for families served.

At Freedom House, we see the holiday season as more than just a time for giving – it’s an opportunity to create lasting change. While we decorate the House and share seasonal cheer with resident families, we’re also looking to the future. Through planned giving, you can help ensure that future Christmases will continue to bring warmth and shelter to families who need it most.

As you gather with loved ones this holiday season, consider how your legacy could extend the gift of hope far beyond this December. Your planned gift becomes like a star guiding others toward brighter tomorrows, illuminating paths out of hardship for years to come.

We’d love to share a cup of holiday cheer while discussing how your generosity can impact generations ahead. Together, we can make sure the spirit of Christmas continues to transform lives long after the season ends.

May your holidays be blessed with the joy that comes from knowing you’ve helped others find their way home.


Your generous support is the cornerstone of our mission to assist families experiencing homelessness in finding their way home. We’re profoundly grateful for your commitment to transforming lives and creating lasting change in our community.

As you consider ways to make an impact, we’d like to highlight a particularly effective giving strategy that offers significant benefits both to you and our cause:

Maximize Your Impact:
Donate Appreciated Stock for Dual Tax Advantages

By gifting appreciated stock directly to Freedom House Ministries, you can amplify your contribution while enjoying two substantial tax benefits:

1. Receive an income tax deduction for the full market value of the stock.
2. Avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation.

This approach allows you to support our mission more generously while optimizing your tax position. It’s a powerful way to make your giving go further. And remember, you always have the option to repurchase the same stock, effectively resetting your cost basis.

By choosing this method, you’re not just making a donation – you’re making a strategic investment in the lives of the families we serve. Your giving translates directly into expanded services, restored hope, and ultimately, more families finding their way out of instability and into into stable homes.

Your support fuels hope and creates pathways to new beginnings. Thank you for considering this impactful way to partner with us in transforming lives.

Your partnership with Freedom House Ministries continues to create an incredible impact, and we’re here whenever you need us - whether to answer questions, share updates, or explore new ways to make a difference. Daily, we witness how your support transforms lives and strengthens our community.

Because of dedicated friends like you, we can extend our reach and deepen our impact in ways we once only dreamed possible. You’re not just helping us provide shelter - you’re helping rebuild lives, restore dignity, and renew hope for countless families. Thank you for being such an essential part of this life-changing work.
