On Saturday December 13, 2025, our Faith Home staff along with all of our students and their families gathered together for our annual Christmas celebration.
Pastor Dave McGaffee of The Assembly Church in Waterford graciously provided his church facility for the event.
Students with their families enjoyed time together as they sat around the table to hear an encouraging word of hope from our Executive Director Rick Souza, and to listen to Christmas songs from Bill Pugh, George MacIntosh, and our Faith Home student choir.
Thanks to the generous donations from our community friends & partners, we were able to provide a full nacho bar with all the toppings, hot chocolate, hot cider and homemade Christmas cookies!
Also, each student, their wives and children received gifts provided by your donations and purchased and wrapped by our volunteer shoppers.
Planning for this event begins in July with our “Christmas in July” fund raising campaign, and continues through December with all the necessary preparations.
We would like to send out our warmest thank you to all of our donors and volunteers for making this a joyful Christmas for so many families. It truly helps them along the path of recovery and family restoration. May the Lord bless you all!
