The holiday season can be a challenging time without family or friends to celebrate with.
Asylum Pride House introduces Rainbow Ribbons, our gift drive to spread love through the Holidays!
Rainbow Ribbons Holiday Gift Drive
Each year, Asylum Pride House reaches out to local community groups, faith organizations, and compassionate individuals to join in the holiday cheer with our gift drive to help welcome LGBTQIA+ immigrants in Philly.
Rainbow Ribbons is open to not just our Asylum Pride House clients, but to any recently arrived LGBTQIA+ immigrants currently receiving services from local Philadelphia based nonprofits. If your organization has clients who are eligible and want to receive some holiday cheer this year, please reach out via our email to speak with our team!
Hosting A Giving Tag Tree
This 2025 year, we are calling on local businesses to help us share the word by hosting a giving tag tree! We see Rainbow Ribbons as a wonderful opportunity to support local businesses and raise awareness of Asylum Pride House’s mission! If you are a shop owner and interested in hosting a Rainbow Ribbons giving tag tree, please email us by October 17th.
Client Questionnaires: PDFs For Referring Organizations
Holiday Card
Many LGBTQIA+ asylum seekers do not have family or friends who are affirming of their gender identity and/or sexuality.
We hope you write from your heart and share why you are part of our welcoming community. Cards are even better when they are written in the language of our clients!
$50 Walmart Card
Our clients often do not have their work permits or stable income.
A gift card allows our clients to purchase specialty food items or gives them the ability to shop for more personal items they may not feel comfortable asking for otherwise.
Giving gifts, particularly around the holidays, is a cross cultural sign of care and love.
We want LGBTQIA+ immigrants to know someone thought about them and what they enjoy or need in their day to day life. It is a special opportunity to share in the welcoming that Asylum Pride House provides every day.
