celebrating the children's holiday fund


Picture

​​Bringing the community together to brighten the season for families across the Virginia Peninsula.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors and partners, the Children’s Holiday Fund awarded $48,500 to 15 local nonprofit organizations, helping ensure children and families receive essential support, comfort, and joy during the holidays.

​This fund is special because many of the organizations we support are smaller, grassroots nonprofits. These organizations are living life with the kids and their families all year long, so they know exactly where the holiday light is needed most.
