Inspired by the gratitude of abundance, Christmas with Neighbors is an annual event which provides neighbors an opporunity to share their prosperity and good will by helping others. The holiday celebration kicks off with a hearty breakfast follow by a toy and clothes giveaway. New and gently used items are donated to help neighbors ease the burdens of the holiday season. Both donors and recipients tremendously benefit from the experience. With the generous support of our donors, we continue to lead community-based initiatives and services that focus on online & offline connection with resources and opportunities.
