Cozy for Christmas

Cozy for Christmas: Bringing Warmth and Joy to Those in Need

The holidays are meant to be filled with warmth, love, and connection. For homeless veterans and LGBTQ+ individuals in our community, Christmas often means another night without shelter, comfort, or companionship. Cozy for Christmas was created to change that—bringing safety, dignity, and joy to those who need it most.

The holidays are meant to be filled with warmth, love, and connection. For homeless veterans and LGBTQ+ individuals in our community, Christmas often means another night without shelter, comfort, or companionship. Cozy for Christmas was created to change that—bringing safety, dignity, and joy to those who need it most.

On Christmas Eve, each guest receives:

A safe, comfortable hotel room to rest and recharge
A fresh haircut to help them feel renewed
New clothing and cozy pajamas for comfort and dignity

Personal care essentials like soap, shampoo, and toiletries

On Christmas morning:

A hot holiday meal served with care
The joy of opening wrapped gifts, from their families when possible and always from our organization
Opportunities to connect with loved ones via video chat

This program goes beyond providing a room or a meal. It restores hope, dignity, and a sense of belonging—creating a Christmas experience that many of us take for granted.

Impact of Your Support:
$150–$200 covers the full Cozy for Christmas experience for one guest
Every donation allows us to provide more rooms, meals, and moments of joy
Your gift ensures those who have served our country or who are often overlooked can feel celebrated and loved this holiday season

With your generosity, we can transform a lonely, difficult night into a holiday filled with warmth, laughter, and connection. Together, we can give the gift of Christmas—and remind everyone that they belong.
