Last Saturday, December 16, the efforts of hundreds of volunteers, local businesses and staff came together for a magical day of Christmas joy for hundreds of individuals and families in crisis. HOPE’s 10th annual Christmas in the City provided registered clients everything they needed to enjoy the holiday season like blankets, socks & underwear, jeans, books, school supplies, toys, Christmas meals, lunch and entertainment. This year, clients got a special surprise when they were offered a bike for their children. Thanks to 104.1 Real Radio and Wheels of Hope, we were able to give out over 200 bikes to children during Christmas in the City!
Thank you to everyone involved for making this event a huge success!
“I am a single mother and because of HOPE, my children will have presents to open on Christmas morning. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.”
Check out pictures from the event!
