We had our ODC Christmas party today, and the big guy stopped by with presents for everyone!

And a special thanks to the Fulton Bank management trainers for their help, and to Glenda's mom for providing so much delicious food!

One of our Food Truck Fest trucks also has a restaurant in Columbia and they are helping out their community. Great job, Halo's Eatery !

Spread the word!

We’ve quietly been giving away a few presents to families with children who have been stopping in. We were hoping to grab a better photo once the tree skirt was added, but here’s our little makeshift giving tree. 🎄

It’s something we felt truly compelled to do as a way to celebrate the spirit of giving this season.

But...Santa is struggling a bit this year due to the economy. You can help out by contributing to our Christsmas gift fund to make sure each Participant gets a carefully chosen gift worth around $15-20.

Thank you in advance for supporting Santa, the Elves, the Reindeer, and our Participants!

This Christmas we would love to provide our Participants with gifts that meet some very specific needs. This donation will help us make Christmas better for our Program Participants, by allowing us to purchase individually chosen gifts for them and give them a great party. If you would like to contr...
