A Season of Giving
Thank you to everyone supported Britepaths’ 2018 Holiday Program this season by sponsoring families or donating funds to help us ensure that families near us who are struggling can put their cares aside for a few days and enjoy a festive meal and gifts for their children. We served 916 families for Thanksgiving and the December holidays — far more than the 800 we had pledged to serve! It is amazing to see how the community comes together to help local families in need! Here are photos and thanks we received during the Holiday season.
