1HOPE Christmas Party 2023
Even though we advertised the Christmas Party as a "Polar Express," it was hardly polar on Saturday, Dec. 9. However, neither the lack of cold nor all of the road closures could keep our families from enjoying the grace of God at our 1HOPE Christmas Party celebration.
We had bounce houses, hot chocolate, a train ride, a petting zoo with baby animals, pony rides, cookie decorating, face painting, pictures with Santa (Mr. and Mrs. Claus are members of Cross Mountain), popcorn, Chick-fil-A, sweet tea, cake, and lots, and lots of fun.
A special acknowledgment goes to our event sponsor Hollywood Crawford Garage Doors for their generous support, making this celebration a reality.
We are grateful to Cross Mountain Church and her dedicated volunteers for countless man-hours of planning and labor. Thank you for using God's resources to bless our families!
Additionally, nothing says a party like cake, sweet tea, and the Lord's Chicken. Food and drink was provided by:
The presence and support of our community partners and vendors enhanced the festivities, creating lasting memories for our foster families, including:
Canines for Christ (with the doggie snuggles)
Silly Celebrations for face painting and balloon animals
Pony Express Pony Rides and petting zoo
We extend our heartfelt thanks to those who made this event possible, ensuring it was a magical experience for our foster families. We also extend our apologies for missing anyone!
The Christmas Party was more than an event; it was a collective effort to bring joy and holiday spirit to those who need it most. We are profoundly thankful for the support and contributions from our sponsors, volunteers, and community partners. Your generosity made this celebration truly special. As more content comes out, we hope you feel the warmth and happiness that filled the air during this magical evening.
