Because of our incredible volunteers and holiday gift donors, we were able to offer over 3,000 toys to the children we serve! Our generous community and corporate supporters decorated our home inside and out, generously sponsored wishes and parties, cooked and served delicious meals, personalized stockings for children, volunteered as wrapping elves and holiday helpers, and even came as Santa on Christmas morning. In addition, hundreds of individuals purchased items from our online gift wish list and sponsored gift cards for our foster teens.
We are so grateful to each and every donor who gave to make the holidays extra special for our Hephzibah kids and families.
