Filled with holiday music and fun, it’s sure to delight all audiences. Admission is free.

This year we were able to support EVERY family that reported a need for thanksgiving dinner! A special special shout out and thank you to Ms. Joann Gainard and Ms. Sheyma Bautista! These ladies made calls and deliveries to families that were not able to pick up thanksgiving kits on Saturday. Their commitment to our families is so appreciated.
We have more kits that are housed in Ms. Gainard’s office if anyone is still in need. Please contact your social worker for arrangements.
