Thank you everyone who participated, volunteered, and spread cheer at our annual holiday dinner for our guests!
150 shared a great gourmet meal prepared by our chef and served by our crew at our gracious host-site, First Church of Christ. Guests received candy and a gift card donated by folks like you in the community. Some took to the microphone to share a special song, others clapped, tapped and sang along to old time carols!
