Holiday Hope Project Thank You

Child & Family Services wishes to thank everyone who contributed to the 365 Days of Hope Gala and Holiday Hope Project. This year, as in many years, the community came together to help over 500 children and families have a brighter holiday season.

Whether you purchased a ticket, sponsored our event, brought a gift for a child, sponsored an entire family, or volunteered your time, YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE! We are truly grateful for your kindness and support and wish you a Healthy, Happy and Prosperous New Year!

A special “Thank You” to Douglas Wine & Spirits for their generous support of the Gala.
