Share your Heart this Holiday Season
As the days grow colder and the holiday lights begin to glow, many of our neighbors — including veterans, individuals, and families — are struggling silently.
- Right here in our community, people are choosing between warmth and food.
- Some wonder how they’ll celebrate the season without the means to do so.
- Others, especially veterans, face the holidays feeling isolated and forgotten.
But there is hope — and it starts with you.
This Season of Sharing, you can make a meaningful impact right here at home. Give the gift of warmth, joy, and dignity to a neighbor who needs it. Whether it’s adopting a wish list, spreading the word, or making a heartfelt gift — every act of kindness brings our community closer together.
