CHRISTMAS IN JULY is presented by FIRST WEDNESDAY. Honoring the USA and celebrating the 4th of July is an honor for all of us.
Because of this holiday and celebration we replace the normal date of FIRST WEDNESDAY with the second Thursday of July to deliver CHRISTMAS IN JULY.

***WHY Ventura Homeless Prevention?***
These people operate Ventura Social Services Task Force, Inc as the 501(c)(3) that legitimately manages this entity. They receive NO GOVERNMENT FUNDING and have proven over the years to support people in Ventura. Yes, they are fully funded by people and local companies who share the spirit of assisting those in need without enablement. I endorse them and have for the 4 years I have been aware of their service!
Please consider sponsoring CHRISTMAS IN JULY. Your $150.00 sponsorship check is due at the door of the event. Other payment options are available too. Contact me if Zelle, Venmo or credit card payment is better for you. Please include raffle ticket purchases and $10 admission per person in the check... cash is ALWAYS AOK!!
Let's talk about raffle prizes. Minimum $75 value is the same request. We need to have the raffle prize or the description of it by 5pm the day before the event. This assures a great experience for everyone participating in this awesome part of FIRST WEDNESDAY. If a raffle prize is your preference instead of in addition to the sponsorship, let me know that too! There is now a limit of 14 raffle prizes so we don't slow down the revelry of the night.
Jaguar Moon has already provided good service and yummy food for a recent FIRST WEDNESDAY. We are looking forward to enjoying their hospitality, food and drink at CHRISTMAS IN JULY!!!
Dedicated to ending homelessness in the city of Ventura, CA
