This is what the holidays are all about: compassion, giving back and enjoying time with friends and family.”
The recommended donation is $15 (donations are not required to participate, but strongly encouraged) and include the following items:
- A gingerbread house kit that includes a ready-to-decorate gingerbread home, colorful candies, icing and more.
- Free ice cream (limit 1 per person) courtesy of FirstBank.
