WORKING HAND-IN-HAND WITH UTAH'S STATE AND COUNTY CHILD-WELFARE AGENCIES, THE HOUSES PROVIDE IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY SHELTER FOR CHILDREN WHO HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THEIR HOMES BECAUSE OF ABUSE, NEGLECT, TRAFFICKING, OR HOMELESSNESS. BUT THEY OFFER FAR MORE THAN A BED AND A ROOF. EACH CHILD RECEIVES COMPASSIONATE CARE, HEALTH AND THERAPEUTIC SUPPORT, ASSESSMENTS, EDUCATIONAL STABILITY, AND OPPORTUNITIES SIMPLY TO BE A CHILD AGAIN THROUGH PLAY AND RECREATION. THOUGHTFUL TOUCHES - LIKE BOOK NOOKS FILLED WITH NEW STORIES AND BLANKET ROOMS STOCKED WITH SOFT, COZY BLANKETS - HELP RESTORE A SENSE OF SAFETY AND DIGNITY DURING A FRIGHTENING TIME. THIS PAST YEAR, 810 CHILDREN WERE SHELTERED, SUPPORTED, AND CARED FOR AT THE THREE CHRISTMAS BOX HOUSES. ACROSS ALL LOCATIONS, AN AVERAGE OF 39 SIBLING GROUPS ARE SERVED EACH MONTH - MEANING NEARLY 1,000 BROTHERS AND SISTERS ARE ABLE TO STAY TOGETHER EACH YEAR RATHER THAN BEING SEPARATED DURING CRISIS. FOR MANY, THAT CONNECTION BECOMES THE LIFELINE THAT CARRIES THEM THROUGH UNCERTAINTY AND TRAUMA. THE CHRISTMAS BOX HOUSES ALSO PROVIDE SPECIALIZED SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN WITH SIGNIFICANT MEDICAL, EMOTIONAL, OR BEHAVIORAL NEEDS UNTIL A SAFE, LONGER- TERM PLACEMENT CAN BE SECURED WITH KINSHIP FAMILIES OR FOSTER CARE.

OUR GOAL IS TO CREATE A SUPPORTIVE, INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY WHERE POSITIVE PEER-TO-PEER CONNECTIONS CAN GROW - SO NO YOUNG PERSON HAS TO FACE ADULTHOOD ALONE.
