Candyland, a community program that brought together 30 families, made a profound impact by creating a joyous afternoon filled with laughter, connection, and community spirit. With over 95 attendees, including 26 dedicated volunteers and support from five community partners, the event fostered a sense of togetherness and belonging. Through hands-on activities and the special appearances of Santa and the Grinch, Candyland not only created cherished memories for families but also strengthened the bonds within our community, exemplifying the power of shared experiences and collaborative efforts in building a vibrant and supportive neighborhood."
