Clearwater Community Christmas Eve Dinner

12/28/2025

**Gratitude Post** The Photos Say So Much!
The Clearwater Community Christmas Eve Dinner was started 9 years ago with the intent to create a sense of community belonging. FOR the community - BY the community. We do it together. 💕💕💕💕💕

It's not an easy season and can be joyful but also painful. While some tables are full with family & friends; other tables have empty seats reminding us of loss and having to endure grief. The hope for the CCC Eve Dinner was to bring people together and ensure that everyone felt welcome and a part of their community over the holidays. No matter what, you have a place at the CCC Eve Dinner and our table will always have a chair for anyone!

This event has grown. For 2025, we made over 560 meals for either pick up, take out or delivery. EPIC is an understatement but made possible because of an abundance of generosity. Whether it be time, talent or treasure, this community showed up. Thank you just seems to be so insignificant when I think about what was accomplished. So many moments of "OMG" and then people stepped in. "Thank you" just doesn't seem to be enough so please know that it is said as loud and wide as possible.

Below are a few photos if you are interested but please take a peek at the list of volunteers and those who donated. I get nervous posting this because I am sure I have missed someone and this causes me angst! We do have a volunteer sheet but I know that people often just want to get to work! If you notice that I missed someone, PLEASE text me so I can amend!! (250) 674-1128

I love this community and how big a heart it has. When the magic needs to be made, the people of the valley sure know how to make it happen! Thank you to so many for believing in this event and the impact it continues to make!

With deep appreciation to all,
Shelley Sim
