Most children eagerly anticipate the holidays each year, hoping for their favorite toys.  But for some children and families, the holidays are a difficult time, spent wondering if there will be food for a celebration, any gifts, or even a roof over their heads.  Each day Spectrum Human Services, Inc., serves over 1,500 individuals and families who face mental, physical, emotional and behavioral challenges  (visit our website www.spectrumhuman.org  for more information about our programs and services). For individuals in our care, hard times are a part of life. 

But you can help.
Each year, Spectrum conducts an Annual Holiday Drive to provide individuals we serve with gifts and special meals.  We expect to serve over 1,500 kids, adults and families this year.  We need your help to reach this ambitious goal.  

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Santa’s Workshop – Donate cash that will be used to purchase gifts for children and teens in Spectrum’s community-based programs.  Gifts will be distributed during the month of December.  You may also donate new, unwrapped toys and clothes to Santa’s Workshop.

Secret Santa Program – “Adopt” a child, teen or developmentally disabled adult.  Spectrum will send the name, age, gender and Wish List (three to four items within a $25 - $35 price range) of each individual that you “adopt”.  You choose an item for the Wish List and provide an unwrapped gift.  Gifts can be delivered to either office in Westland or Southfield.

Food Drive – Collect nonperishable food items or purchase food gift certificates for families in our care.
