Gifts for Steady Ground
A holiday gift drive for kids in recovering families
This holiday season, we’re giving Mississippi families in sober living homes, and the 150 children in their lives, a holiday to hold onto. Every gift is a small piece of steady ground under a family working hard to build a stable life together.
Gifts for Steady Ground is led by Carter, who chose to make this her project this year.
The numbers
- $11,250 is our goal this season
- $75 covers one child’s holiday gift
- 150 children are counting on us this year
How to give: Give any amount. $75 covers one child, or give for several children.
Families: We are accepting inquiries October 1 to November 30, 2026. Use the Inquire button to fill out the form. We will let you know by email whether it was accepted. This program is available to families in the state of Mississippi only.
