This year was marked by more donations than ever before.

We were constantly delighted by the generosity of our community as donations filled our store each day. We will begin collecting donations again in October to get ready for another busy season at Candy Cane Corner.

We also had amazing support from our volunteers this year. Candy Cane Corner is run almost entirely by volunteers. Volunteers help us keep the store stocked and running and wrap gifts for families. Volunteering at Candy Cane Corner is a wonderful way to get into the spirit of the season while helping those the store serves. Our volunteer sign up filled up early this year.

We know these days can be a difficult time to volunteer and we could not have this holiday program without those who give their time so close to the holidays.

We are delighted to report that Candy Cane Corner was able to help 548 families this holiday season. Everyone who donated, volunteered, or shared information on Candy Cane Corner helped make the season bright for 1,312 children. We are could not help so many without the love and generosity each of you shared this year.

We’ll be back next year, to help more families in need have a warm & full holiday season.

Thank you – The Road Home, YWCA of Salt Lake, and Volunteers of America, Utah.

We’ve had a wonderful first week at Candy Cane Corner and are ready to start another!

Right now, Candy Cane Corner needs wrapping paper and tape, stockings, girls and boys underwear,  larger size diapers, teen gifts, and men’s and women’s shoes. We still have a surplus of infant clothing, coats, hats, gloves, and scarves. While we don’t need these items at Candy Cane Corner, our three partner agencies would love these donations.

We’d like to thank all the wonderful volunteers who have made our first week at Candy Cane Corner so delightful! With your help, we were able to have dozens of families shop for their holiday gifts, wrap hundreds of gifts, and keep the store running in ship shape! We’re so excited to have many more volunteers join us at Candy Cane Corner over the next two weeks. A few spots have opened up on our Volunteer Schedule. We’re also happy to give younger supporters tours of the store when they deliver a donation.

Candy Cane Corner is a partnership between The Road Home, YWCA of Salt Lake, and Volunteers of America, UT.

We are collecting donations of new, unwrapped toys, clothing, and household items to stock the store before we open on December 3.

While we’re working to get the store set-up, donations can be delivered to The Road Home at 210 S. Rio Grande St. (455 W.), just let their staff know the donation is intended for Candy Cane Corner.

We often run low on gifts for teenagers (13-18 years), small home appliances (coffee makers, alarm clocks, toasters), and clothing for women (sizes 4-16) at Candy Cane Corner.

Kids pick a gift – if you’ve got younger supporters in your family, have them pick out a toy or outfit they’d like for themselves, then visit us at Candy Cane Corner to make your donation. Tours of Candy Cane Corner help our youngest supporters understand where their gift is going & who it will help. Our store is open 7 days/week & no appointment is needed for donation delivery or a tour!

Volunteer – we need help with store set-up Nov. 26 – 30. We put the store together, decorate, and get everything ready for our first shoppers on December 3. Email volunteer@theroadhome.org to sign up!

Each year, Candy Cane Corner helps families in need celebrate the holidays with new gifts. Parents visit the store with their case manager and select gifts for their children and themselves. For many of the families we help at Candy Cane Corner, it has been a very long time since they were last able to shop for new clothes or toys. The experience is both empowering and deeply moving for the people we help through this program.

We hope you’ll join us at Candy Cane Corner this year as we bring magic and holiday cheer to the children, mothers & fathers we help.
