Twice a year (Summer and Winter), children from disadvantaged families are our guests for a day of fun, food, crafting, haircuts, a family photo, and learn about the importance of paying it forward. At the Summer Event each child goes home with clothing, shoes, backpack and school supplies to start the school year off right. At the Winter Event they go home with winter clothing essentials and a holiday present from their wish list. This is possible with the generous support of our community by financially sponsoring a child(ren) ($200 donation per child). Our thanks to the following individuals or organizations who sponsored a child (some sponsored several!) for our recent Winter Children’s Event:
