NSO's Life Choices program provides services to intellectually and developmentally disabled children, adults and their families. Most of the families we serve are low-income with limited resources for the holidays so each year we host party to ensure they can share in the holiday joy. NSO Elves are needed to provided party supplies, games and toys for the event.

Make the holiday special for a formerly homeless individual that now has a home. Their holidays will be warm, but very lonely. Your gift will remind them that they are not alone. NSO Elves will receive a newly housed adult’s name and their wish list. Elves are asked to spend no more than $25 per individual.

NSO Adult Services, provides services to older adults and disabled adults with mental illness with the goal of helping them to live fulfilling lives in the least restrictive setting. Many of those we serve have no one else in their lives except the NSO staff that visits them. Knowing that someone cared enough to purchase them a gift on their wish list will not only make their holidays brighter, but it will also remind them that people care. NSO Elves can help by adopting a adult for the holiday. Elves will receive a disabled adults wish list with the name, age, sizes and wishes. Elves are asked to spend no more than $25 per person.

Hundreds of homeless individuals with nowhere else to go will spend their nights on the cold hard streets. You can warm their hands, feet and hearts by donating items on our Winter Warmth Wish List.

NSO Elves are needed to collect new household goods for individuals who have nothing, as they move from the streets to a home while receiving the support they need from NSO. Everyone deserves a fresh start and your gift of new household goods will help a formerly homeless man or woman start theirs. Elves may choose to outfit an entire apartment or choose to outfit just one room such as a kitchen, bedroom or bathroom.
