CHRISTMAS TOY SHOP
Coat distribution has ended. However, we currently have 787 children signed up for the Christmas Toy Shop — and sign up is not finished yet! (This does not include the children signed up for the Adopt-a-Family portion of our Christmas programming.) We collect new toys for Christmas by private individuals dropping them off at our office, local companies/groups doing drives/collections/events, and through the Toys for Tots collection boxes that have now been placed around town. Can you help #RescueChristmas by donating new toys or making a monetary donation for the Toy Shop? Thank you in advance for loving on the kids this Christmas!
NOTE: Sign Up for Coats has Ended
- Where: The Salvation Army — by phone 920-684-7117
- When: September 14th to October 16th — 9 AM- 3 PM
- Sign up will be done by phone this year
- Emails will be needed to finalize the sign-up process
Coat Distribution will begin October 24th
*Must be pre-registered*
It is best to sign up early. First come clients and new clients receive consideration for “adoption”. Note that you may not be adopted two years in a row. New families will need to provide proof of address, proof of household income (must meet poverty guidelines) and proof that your children live with you. If you receive FoodShare, that current document works. Preferably via email or fax.
Clients who have participated in one or both of these programs before will need to initially call and register. They will then receive an email with the wish list attached and asked to fill it out (with detailed info) and return via email. Once we receive the wish list, they will receive a final email with the dates and times for their appointments to pick up coats and toys.
YOU MUST PRE-REGISTER DURING THE DATES/TIMES LISTED! YOU WILL BE GIVEN A TIME TO COME FOR COATS & TOYS WHEN YOU REGISTER
We realize that this could be cumbersome for some families. We also believe with the way so much of life has been happening the last many months that it should be a process most families can follow.

About In Courage
The Manitowoc County Domestic Violence Center (D.B.A In Courage) is a non-profit organization providing supportive responses to people in the Manitowoc County area who are experiencing violence in their lives. Abuse is neither justified nor acceptable under any circumstances.
Abuse can take on many forms including: Physical, Verbal, Sexual and Emotional. Abuse is not simply physical harm. It is any pattern of controlling behavior. For many survivors, abuse can have a long lasting effect that can be damaging and devastating if left untreated. Realizing that domestic violence has been a way of life for many families for a long time, we seek to break the cycle of family destruction. For that reason, we dedicated our agency to the belief that ”No one deserves to be abused.”
In Courage Crisis Line, Shelter, Support
In support of our belief, we offer a 24-hour, 7-day-a-week crisis line (920-684-5770), a shelter home for women and their children; supportive counseling services; support groups; financial, legal, and medical advocacy; community education programs; child care; emergency transportation; follow-up services.
One of our most important services is to provide support in a warm, friendly, non-judgmental atmosphere. Each person has the right to decide their next step. Therefore, we provide information and options for people to make their own decisions.
