An evening of community and celebration ✨❤️
ECMHP Holiday Fair 2025

2nd year of transforming our Richmond Office into a winter wonderland of crafts and holiday magic. Families were able to come to this free event, enjoy dinner, various crafts, cookie decorating, hot chocolate, and Santa’s Workshop. Families were able to choose gifts, get them wrapped, and decide how they wanted to use them.

Santa’s workshop was made possible by the generous donations of Girl Scout Troops 33350 and 30803, toy drive, and many friends and family members of Jeff Sloan (executive director) and Sam Watson-Alvarado (associate director).

Our staff worked hard to plan, prep, decorate, and facilitate the evening alongside parent and Girl Scout volunteers of Girl Scout Troop 33350.

Community brings joy.
Community heals.
Community makes the world a better place.

Together, We Made an Impact!

This year, we witnessed the power of community in action. From the dedication of our staff and partners to the resilience of the children and families we serve, every story shared and every milestone reached reflects what’s possible when compassion meets commitment. Our impact this year is not just measured in numbers; it’s seen in the lives changed, the trust built, and the hope restored.
