A heartfelt thank you to Lynn and her many dedicated volunteers at St. Patrick’s Church in Harrisville for helping 22 families enjoy a holiday meal and gifts for their children this Christmas! 🎄

It truly takes many hands to make this happen—22 hams, 22 boxes of food & produce, and many gifts, all packed into 1 truck, 2 SUVs, and 1 car! 🎁

A special shout-out and HUGE thank you to Diane & John, Joanne, Lisa, Alyssa & Dustin, Brittany & John, and of course my husband John. And an extra thank you to Brittany & John for showing up with the fruit salad and donuts— We definitely needed the fuel! 🍓🍩

Another year in the books, and I couldn’t do it without all of you. So grateful for this amazing team and community! ❤️

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude and thanks to Holly’s Angels for the incredible support you provided to some of our families at the Tri-County Head Start Program this holiday season. Your generosity and kindness truly made a meaningful difference during a time when it was needed most.

Holly served as our Tri-County Head Start Enrollment and Outreach Specialist until her passing in 2021, and her passion for helping families was at the heart of everything she did. She was a tireless advocate, always going above and beyond to ensure families felt supported, valued, and cared for.

Through Holly’s Angels, her legacy continues to live on in the most beautiful way, Holly’s family. The love, compassion, and generosity shown this season are a true reflection of who Holly was and the impact she continues to have on our community. We are forever grateful Holly’s Angels for the light you bring to our families and for honoring Holly’s memory through such meaningful acts of generosity and kindness. 💜
