Trade the Malls for Walls began in 2008 as a way to help generous holiday donors have a greater impact on families using WRC’s services. Rather than purchasing hundreds of dollars of toys that are quickly broken or outgrown, donors are encouraged to make contributions that help a family's new house feel more like a home.

 

Donor groups receive wish lists of items families need to make their new houses and apartments feel more like home in time for the holidays. Common items include bedding, dishes and cookware, shower curtains, and cleaning supplies. Donors also help with winter clothing as needed and, of course, gifts for each family member. See several sample wish lists below.

 

If you are interested in sponsoring a family for 2021, please contact Amber at (404) 370-7670 or amber@wrcdv.org.
