The purpose
Medellín became an important part of our lives, and Shirley's Fund created this annual project as a practical way to give something back to the community.
The idea is intentionally simple: raise funds, purchase food staples and small gifts locally in Medellín, and put those resources directly into the hands of children and families who need them.
We are keeping the project intentionally simple: raise the money, buy locally, and help as many children and families as we can during the holiday season.
Give locally. Help directly. Make the holidays brighter.
How it works
Three simple steps.
We keep Medellín Holiday Cares focused so the project stays understandable and practical from the first donation through final distribution.
Turn donations into food + gifts.
Funds are used to purchase food staples and small holiday gifts locally in Medellín so the money also stays close to the community.
Get the help where it needs to go.
Shirley's Fund coordinates local distribution so food and gifts reach children and families in Medellín during the holiday season.
