    Help Make Holiday Hot Cups for Valentine's Day

    What Are Holiday Hot Cups?

    Holiday Hot Cups are simple paper coffee cups that kids, families, groups and couples decorate for the holidays and fill with hot cocoa packets. The project is designed to help spread joy and cheer to people experiencing homelessness during the cold weather holiday season. They warm hands, bodies and hearts.

    Who It Helps

    This project supports guests/residents staying at the Nativity House Shelter , Stability Site and at the Family Housing Network Safe Parking Site. These sites provide direct assistance to community members who are actively experiencing homelessness in Tacoma.

    Supplies needed include:

    Paper coffee cups, cup lids, hot cocoa packets, art supplies (markers and/or stickers), creativity and kindness.

    **Groups provide their own supplies**
