Our Warm Hearts, Warm Hands Winter Giveaway 2025 with was an incredible success! ❄️❤️
This year, we were blessed to serve even more families than ever before, ensuring that every child, youth, and family who attended received something for Christmas.

✨ 2025 Impact Highlights ✨
• 129 coats & winter gear sets distributed
• 160 gifts provided to children and youth (toys + gift cards combined)
• 22 additional gifts given to parents/guardians as a special thank you

From warm coats and winter gear to toys, gift cards, and thoughtful surprises, everyone left with something, and we are deeply grateful to be able to give in this way.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to every volunteer, donor, and community partner who made this possible. Your generosity allowed us to increase both attendance and the total number of gifts distributed compared to last year, and the impact was truly felt.

✨ Special recognition and sincere thanks to Ram Property Services LLC, whose generous support played a key role in helping us expand our reach and serve more children and families than ever before.

A special thank you to Clair Christian United Methodist Church for your continued generosity, partnership, and commitment to serving the community. Your support helps make this work possible year after year.

We are honored to serve, thankful for the growth, and excited to give even more next year. ❤️
