The holiday season brings a special kind of joy, and this year’s holiday party on December 17 at The West End Eat & Sleep was a shining example of that spirit. Our event was filled with laughter, warmth, and generosity, creating memories that will last well beyond the festive season. Thank you to everyone who attended and those who planned this amazing event (especially Jen Linsley, Jackie Andula, Joanne Hahn-Smith, and Erin Oliver) and The West End Eat & Sleep for being such a great partner!
A Night to Remember
The party brought people together in a welcoming environment where everyone could enjoy good friends and delicious food.
The event was not just about celebration but also about community. It was inspiring to see neighbors, friends, and families come together, strengthening bonds and creating new connections.
And a BIG thank you to our event sponsors! The party would not have been such a success without your support:
Joyful Jingle ($75) | Silver Bells ($125) | Holly Jolly Hero ($250) |

The Impact of Your Generosity
One of the most meaningful aspects of the holiday party was the spirit of giving. Attendees generously donated to support Every Bottom Covered, making a real difference in our community. These donations will help families in need of diapers and feminine products.
Every donation, big or small, adds up to a stronger, more caring community. Your kindness has a lasting impact that extends far beyond the holiday season.

Looking Ahead: Continuing the Spirit of Giving
While the party was a wonderful way to celebrate, the need for support in our community continues year-round. We encourage everyone to keep the spirit of generosity alive by:
Volunteering time at local shelters and food banks
Donating clothes, food, or funds to trusted organizations
Supporting community events that foster inclusion and care
Reaching out to neighbors who may be struggling
Together, we can build a community where everyone feels valued and supported.
Thank you once again to all who joined us on December 17 and contributed to the success of our holiday party. Your presence and generosity made the event truly special. Let’s carry this spirit forward and continue making a positive difference in the lives of those around us.
