We topped it off with two absolutely fabulous parties for children, teens, young adults, and even grandparents.

Thanks to your generous and creative gifts, we supported well over 700 individuals in December alone with toys, games, teen items, gift cards, comfort kits, emergency supplies, beds, bicycles, and even turkeys!

It might be freezing outside, but we're still feeling the warm fuzzies from all the festive spirit we experienced over the holidays. Your support helps us keep meaningful traditions in place and provides much-needed reassurance and compassion to so many.
