A Cup That Gives Back

Join us for a cozy, meaningful evening as we gather for A Cup That Gives Back, a community event supporting St. Jude House and The Caring Place — two local organizations providing essential support and services to survivors of domestic abuse and their children.

This holiday season, we’re preparing festive mugs for nearly 100 families currently receiving services in local shelters. Each mug will be filled with hot chocolate packets, a gift card, and warm winter essentials such as gloves and hats.

Together, we can create a moment of comfort, care, and encouragement for families spending the season in shelter.

This event is designed to be warm, welcoming, and full of holiday cheer:

🎄 Christmas movies
☕ Hot cocoa for you to enjoy
🎁 A few surprise goodies for you to take home
📸 Complimentary headshots provided by Amelia Kowalisyn Photography as a thank you for bringing a donation

It’s also a wonderful chance to meet new people, connect with local women, and be part of something that directly impacts families in our community.

We kindly ask each guest to bring one or more of the following:

• New winter gloves
• New winter hats
• A $10+ gift card (Target, Walmart, Meijer, etc.)

Your donation will help us fill each mug with love and support for the families served by St. Jude House and The Caring Place.

If you want to contribute but are unable to join us in person, you can still support this effort through our Amazon Wish List:
