Christmas Joy at WHO @ St. Andrew

Volunteers celebrated the holiday season with Santa's visit during WHO's busiest year for families. The 2024-2025 season welcomed 25 children ranging from 6 months to 14 years old, prompting the addition of a live Christmas tree and special holiday activities. The community's response, including the annual Christmas stocking delivery from the Garner Family, demonstrated how small acts of kindness created lasting memories for children during a difficult time in their lives.
