It takes many hardworking elves to bring together a holiday celebration for more than 300 families. 🎄✨

Berks County families in our Nurse-Family Partnership and Parents as Teachers programs enjoyed crafts, homemade cookies, milk, a visit with Santa, and time to connect with one another. Children received gift bags with warm winter pajamas, a book, and a toy, while expectant mothers were welcomed with a special baby gift. 💜

Moments like these are made possible through community, care, and connection.
