We are so proud of our tree at the Eloise B. Houchens center this holiday season.
The theme this year had to be based on a Christmas book; we chose “Santa Goes The Extra Mile for Children with Disabilities.”

Our tree highlights autism awareness and many other disabilities as well.

Thank you to our volunteers at KY Steps for assisting us with decorating this gorgeous tree!

Please if you have time, stop by the center during their operating hours and see all the beautiful trees!
