Thank you to all of the volunteers and supporters that helped us spread a little Holiday cheer to 1,000 Senior Citizens in our Meals on Wheels program. Our annual Santa for Seniors program helps combat the loneliness and isolation that too many face by delivering gifts to homebound Senior Citizens in our program. Thanks to our continued partnership with UFS, we are happy to carry on this tradition.

So many in our community face hardship all year, which can make the holidays difficult. We once again adapted our Children’s Toy Shop into an Angel Tree for the kids within our youth program this year.  Thank you to the individuals, families and businesses that sponsored the children and families on our Angel Tree.

Your support made the holiday season a little brighter for a local family.
