The Holiday Banquet is a yearly tradition where all the residents and staff of DPCC gather to enjoy a holiday meal. The residents gather from every neighborhood and are served by the DPCC staff and volunteers. It a fun event full of good food, smiling faces, and beautiful music.

Here are some photos of the before and after of the event - it was an all hands on deck sort of day , so we were not able to capture the fun of the actual meal.

Looking forward to sharing all the other wonderful events we have planned for the rest of the year!
