Christmas happened because of you!!!
Saturday afternoon, December 20, 2025, 301 children enjoyed a day of fun at Gladiolus Food Pantry.
The children entered Santa’s workshop to visit Santa and Mrs. Claus, chose toys to take home, and spent an afternoon of pure joy. This all happened because generous, caring people like you helped make this possible.
Enjoying delicious ice cream on a warm Saturday afternoon, making ornaments to take home, having their faces painted, dancing to Christmas music, eating hot dogs and snow cones, becoming a fire fighter for the day with fire hats, and selecting from hundreds toys, were all made possible because you donated toys, took the time to plan an activity, cooked over a hot grill, gave of your time, and donated from your heart.
The “Little Green Building with the BIG Heart” gave 301 children a place to have fun and experience the joy of Christmas time that every child should experience.
From every person associated with Gladiolus Food Pantry, we thank you.
This all would not have been possible without you.
You helped make a difference, you helped bring happiness to 301 children,
you made the true meaning of Christmas happen.
