Children Share Joy Through Holiday Giving

Family Promise families once again participated in Peppermint Lane, a joyful holiday tradition where children had the chance to shop for gifts for the special adults in their lives, such as parents, grandparents, teachers, and godparents.  Our spaces became festive holiday shoppes filled with decorations and free gifts.

Children were greeted by staff who helped them pick the perfect presents. The excitement was contagious as kids browsed and imagined the smiles their gifts would bring. One little girl grinned as she chose a blue box, saying, “My mom loves blue!” Parents waited outside to keep the surprise secret, while wrapping supplies ensured every gift was beautifully finished.

Peppermint Lane was about more than presents. It gave children the joy of generosity and the pride of choosing something special for the people they love.
