UMatter INC Programs

From January until early Spring, we accept donations of gentled used clothing, household items and furniture to be given away at our Annual Spring Giveaway. Trailer loads of items are transported to the Gym as we create our "store" for our clients to shop.

2020 has sure been an adventure - especially for the graduating high school/college seniors in our communities. As a result of the Pandemic, we provided 10 seniors with special baskets of goodies, provided by our generous sponsors, to help them celebrate 

this huge accomplishment. 

In late summer, we distribute basic school supplies to our families and use this event to kick off our annual Christmas Wish List campaign. Our generous sponsors donate the school supplies we distribute and we have been blessed to receive donations from local businesses as well. 

Who said Christmas is just for kids! 

Our sponsors have a blast shopping for their "Christmas kids". Some have sponsored the same child for the last 5 + years 

and watched them grow.  

Sponsors are asked to spend $50 and purchase gifts off the child's Wish List. Add in fun, games, snack, stocking stuffers and of course a visit with Santa and it creates a magical night for all.

In 2019, we add a new component to our Christmas celebrations  with a special party and wish list gifts for the children living in St. John's Family Homeless Shelter, the only family homeless shelter  in Washington County. 

Added in 2020, we are happy to partner with other local non profits to help individuals transiting from homelessness to have a place to call their own. We assist with donations of gently used items and monetary support on a case by case basis.
