We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to our generous community for helping make the Tree of Joy a resounding success! Thanks to your kind donations and thoughtful shopping, we were able to spread Christmas magic to 171 children this year.
A special thank you to our incredible volunteers who dedicated their time to collecting, sorting, and distributing gifts to families—your hard work and compassion brought so much joy.
We are also incredibly grateful to Ray’s Market for allowing us to set up the Tree of Joy in their space and to their wonderful employees for accommodating the gifts and making room when needed.
Finally, thank you to the Nazarene Church for graciously providing the space to organize and distribute these gifts. Your support made it possible to spread Christmas cheer far and wide.
This truly wouldn’t have been possible without the collective kindness and generosity of everyone involved. Thank you for making the season brighter for so many!
