Now in its 15th year, “12 Days of Giving” is a community-wide, coordinated effort to support nonprofit organizations providing essential services to San Benito County residents. The 2026 12 Days of Giving campaign begins December 1st and concludes 11:59 p.m. Saturday December 12th, 2026. Emmaus House is blessed to be one of the essential service nonprofit organizations chosen as a ‘matching funds’ recipient.
Together, CASA of San Benito County, Community FoodBank of San Benito County, Emmaus House, Sun Street Centers and the YMCA, collaborate in this local holiday tradition, and one that can leverage your gifts through matches provided by very generous sponsor organizations, businesses and individuals.
Your contributions help to give our sheltered families the much-needed daily necessities. However, in addition to that, imagine being displaced from your home and wondering where you are going to get your children that special gift and a holiday dinner? The 12 Days of Giving annual campaign is that answer. Your contributions give a mom and her children, celebration, comfort, smiles, and a sense of normalcy. Emmaus House Mission Statement reads: “Our mission is to provide a safe gateway for a woman’s journey.”
Your monetary donations have a wonderful opportunity to be matched! This is due to our very generous partner United for San Benito, and local sponsors.
Funds can be mailed, delivered to Emmaus House office 440 San Benito St., Hollister, CA 95023. Dropped off at the Shelter or Community Foundation Epicenter building. Please note ‘12 Days’ in the memo field to count for the matching funds campaign! Online donations can be accessed at www.emmaushouse.net
Matching funds for the 12 Days of Giving are made possible by our partners United for San Benito County. Campaign sponsors as of this writing are K&S properties, Kay Filice, the Terry Family and In-kind media support is provided by BenitoLink and Don Chapin Company.
Every contribution has great impact. Donations may be designated to one or more specific campaign agency, or to be shared across all five.
