The project ends each year with a one-day event for which Sarah’s Inn volunteers create a magical holiday gift shop where Sarah’s Inn’s clients can choose gifts for themselves and their children free of charge. This shop enables the women we serve to make their own decisions about which gifts their children would enjoy in a safe and supportive environment.

Riverside Police has long been supportive to Sarah’s Inn and to end Domestic Violence in the community. The Police Department will be accepting new toy donations or gift cards for children and teens. Used toys cannot be accepted
