THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS!
On Wednesday, December 14, 2022, we were able to distribute gifts for 322 kids and 25 seniors, as well as food to 152 families! Thank you to all the generous donors who provided gifts and food to brighten the holidays for families in need, and the 35 volunteers who helped pull off this great feat of organization!

And special thanks to our Board Directors Jason Whyte and Ana Hernandez, who helped with the gift distribution, as well as longtime former volunteer/board director Dolores Hernandez (Ana’s mom).
