Mark another amazing Colonies Holiday Miracles in the books!
A big shoutout goes to Nikki Butler, Nic Stowell and Jaclyn Murphy for their top-level organization skills, bringing together so many employees and volunteers to put together a seamless event for nearly 200 kids and their families.
We hope everyone had a chance to catch Angel Rogers in her gingerbread man suit and Alex Larrondo in that upside-down clown get-up!
So many people had their hands in to make this day a success, decorating the Crossroads shopping center, registering children, serving as “shoperones,” entertaining and breaking down and packing it all up for next year.
This year, we helped create a magical holiday memory for youths from 12 Inland Empire nonprofits, including Children’s Fund, Children’s Hope, Eagles Wings, Foothill Family Shelter, House of Ruth, LeRoy Haynes Family Programs, National CORE, OPARC, Pacific Lifeline, Upland Unified School District Healthy Start, Upland Housing Authority and the YMCA. Each child was selected based on family need and income.
Way to rock the holidays, National CORE and Hope through Housing!
