Salt Lake City\, Utah (November 2025) \;- \;This winter\, Neighborhood House invites the Salt Lake City community to help spread joy and connection through its annual Give a Gift program. This \;holiday \;tradition \;ensures every child\, adult\, and caregiver \;in \;Neighborhood House&rsquo\;s care \;experiences the joy of receiving a gift chosen especially for them. \;

Each year\, \;Give \;a Gift provides holiday support for families who rely on Neighborhood House&rsquo\;s early education\, adult day services\, and family support programs. Children from 15 months to 12 years old\, and adult clients\, many of whom are experiencing a disability or are diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer&rsquo\;s\, receive three gifts of their choice valued at approximately $100 per person. Caregivers receive a curated basket or wrapped item\, and families are provided with food baskets filled with essential nonperishable items. \;
\n \;
\nWith 92% of Neighborhood House families \;meeting the federal criteria for low income\, \;Give \;a Gift \;represents \;much more than seasonal giving. It provides hope\, belonging\, and the joy of knowing they are supported by their community during the holidays. \;
\n \;
\n&ldquo\;Give a Gift reminds our clients and families they are not alone\,&rdquo\; says Jennifer Nuttall\, Neighborhood House Executive Director. &ldquo\;It&rsquo\;s \;also the Salt Lake community showing up to say\, &lsquo\;You matter to us.&rsquo\; That is what makes Neighborhood House such a special place.&rdquo\; \;
\n \;
\nIndividuals\, companies\, families\, \;churches \;and service groups are all invited to \;participate \;by sponsoring a gift recipient\, \;volunteering\, \;or helping spread the word. Gift givers can \;sign up \;online to sponsor a child\, adult\, \;caregiver \;or food basket\, and will receive a personalized \;gift \;list by email. Gifts should be delivered labeled and unwrapped to Neighborhood House between December 10th \;beginning at 1pm until December 12th \;at 6pm. \;
