Walnut Avenue couldn’t provide its services without the generous support of our community partners.

Events

Annual Fundraising Events

Once a year, we invite donors to join us for events, to meet some of our staff, learn more about the work we do and the impact that donors make, and discuss future projects to continue serving Santa Cruz County.

Turkey Drive

During October and November, donors make it possible for survivors and families participating on our programs to sign up to receive a full Thanksgiving meal put together by our local New Leaf Markets which they can take home to their household: mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, stuffing, a pie - and, of course, a big turkey.

Holiday Gift Giving Campaign

aka Adopt-a-Family

The stress of the holiday season can be a lot even for folks who aren’t also participating in our programs. Our HGGC allows donors to purchase gifts for our participants whose families do gift-giving during this time of year: a wish list of toys, clothes, and household necessities is provided.

Volunteer with Events & Campaigns

Your volunteer efforts are an integral part of our fundraising efforts, and support Walnut Avenue’s annual campaigns such as Holiday Gift Giving Campaign, Turkey Drive, and our annual donor appreciation event.

We look forward to hearing from you!
