Special delivery! 🎁 This week, Nikki (our amazing HR Manager) and her son transformed into Santa and Santa's Helper to deliver gifts to families. Their sleigh was packed with presents made possible by our incredible donors, and they brought so much joy to the kids we serve.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to our Holiday Gift Drive this year—your generosity filled that truck and more! And Nikki and team, thank you for making the magic happen and going the extra mile (literally) for our community! 🎅

Special thanks to our speakers and partners from the Partnership for Child Health , Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at Centerstone, Florida, Mental Health Resource Center, Sulzbacher, Duval County Public Schools, Gateway - Steps to Recovery, The Fire Watch, and United Way of Northeast Florida for their support.
