In keeping with the true spirit of Christmas, Goddard Place welcomes local families to a traditional Christmas celebration. Recognizing that many in our community face financial stress, we would like to share the joys of the season with those families who may find it difficult to go beyond basic needs and provide an abundance of holiday joy for their children.

Christmas Blessings will follow a come-and-go format, with the doors of Goddard Place open from 1:00 to 3:00 on both Saturday, December 19 and Sunday, December 20. The decision to hold the event on two days was made in order to enhance the safety of our guests and volunteers. As we celebrate the joy of Christ’s birth, families will enjoy games, crafts, snacks, and other holiday fun, with a visit from Santa and gifts for all before departing!

All activities at Goddard Place are provided at no cost to participants and we are grateful for the overwhelming community support that allows us to continue programs which benefit the young people in our community. Goddard Place is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, meaning that all donations are tax deductible.
