Once again, the holidays for our clients and children at the Women and Children’s Campus (WCC), Harris Spring Ranch (HSR), the Community Involvement Center (CIC), the Las Vegas Community Triage Center (CTC), and the 4th St. Campus were filled with joy and warmth thanks to our loyal and generous donors that bring the magic of Santa Claus to the little ones and an abundance of Christmas cheer to those that we serve.
We began this holiday season with cookies, cocoa, and candy canes. The festive decor included gingerbread houses made by the ladies at the WCC. This year’s donors provided gift cards to each client, giving them the opportunity to buy gifts for their loved ones. The Angel Tree Team made the Christmas wishes of the clients’ children come true, bringing a message of faith and forgiveness that touched the hearts and souls of many. Mr. Bob Vickery provided entertainment with a Christmas carol sing-along while clients wrapped the gifts that they purchased. Marcie Davis from Davis House hosted a cookie decorating class, creating delicious treats for everyone to enjoy.
