Winter Tradition 2025

Thank you to our generous donors for keeping alive our holiday tradition of giving for three decades. Thank you for helping us expand our reach and change with the times. Because of you, this Holiday Season we can support homeless families in three Community of Hope shelters, give a hand to immigrants and refugees through Lutheran Social Services, generously support local Food banks, and help vulnerable, under resourced individuals. Too, we are giving assistance to the pets in families experiencing food insecurity all year long. To learn more about how you can participate in this year’s Winter Tradition, click the link below:
