Imagine giving a gift that keeps on giving.

Honor someone special by giving a life-changing gift in his or her name.

Many of our youth arrive at our home with a couple of outfits or with only the clothes they are wearing. With the Gift of Hospitality, you will be making sure that our children receive a welcome basket with all the necessities they will need. We want every child to know they are cared for and loved when they arrive at MCH.
