December Holiday Charity Event!

About this event

You’re invited to the Portland Women's Social Circle annual Holiday Charity Event! We'll spend the evening wrapping presents for children receiving holiday gifts through Women United and putting together holiday care kits and gift bags for local women , many of whom are single mothers. This is a hands-on volunteer project that gives back to women, right here in Portland. It’s part volunteering, part social hour, and fully heartwarming. Every ticket goes 100% to United Way’s Women United programs, helping women and families in our own community. This event helps make the holidays a little brighter for those who could use some extra support. You’ll chat and assemble your kits alongside like-minded women who believe in the power of community and compassion while making a meaningful difference for someone in our community.

What we'll be doing

🎁 Wrapping gifts for children who are receiving presents through Women United.

💝 Assembling holiday gift bags for women filled with thoughtful items to help make their holiday season a little brighter.

💌 Write a handwritten note of joy and encouragement for the women.

❤️ Giving back locally: Ticket proceeds cover the supplies needed for the women's gift bags and supplies. Any money left over is donated directly to Women United through United Way.

Our goal is to make a positive difference in the lives of women in our own community. Every dollar goes into supporting local women and families.
