Our inaugural Jingle and Joy Holiday Bash brought more than 40 neighbors together for an afternoon filled with connection, creativity, and festive fun. With free admission and a welcoming atmosphere, families gathered to kick off the season in a way that truly embodied the spirit of community.
Every child received raffle tickets upon arrival for a chance to win one of three holiday gift baskets—thoughtfully donated by our Marketing & Outreach Director and our Finance Director. Families could earn extra tickets by contributing to the Bellevue Public Library’s food drive benefiting the Bellevue Food Pantry, and their generosity was nothing short of heartwarming.
Throughout the event, kids dove into hands‑on holiday activities, from coloring pages and bookmark decorating to crafting ornaments that quickly became keepsakes. Laughter and creativity filled the room as guests enjoyed delicious snacks, cheerful music, and the kind of joyful energy that reminds us why gatherings like this matter.
We extend our deepest gratitude to the volunteers who made the celebration possible. Your time, care, and enthusiasm shaped this event into something truly special. We’re grateful for you—and already looking forward to the next celebration.
