Christmas is on its Way!
Thanksgiving has come and gone, and November has ended. Fortunately for all of us who love the enthusiasm the holidays bring to St. John’s, Christmas is still on the way! We are all eagerly looking forward to our awesome Christmas celebration held at St. John’s in cooperation with Holiday Express. Christmas Eve will certainly be an awesome day at St. John’s, both for our guests and for our volunteers. That is a little ways off though, and in the meantime we have been having a great time getting into the Christmas spirit. The holiday season is still upon us and holiday cheer is in full swing at the soup kitchen. People have been very eager to get involved, and we are so thrilled with the overwhelming response that we get. There are so many ways to get involve
The men’s dining hall has been decorated for Christmas and it really helps the mood for those dining in. It’s comforting and familiar for our guests to be in a room that’s decorated for the holidays. Small gestures make a big difference, and we are very thankful for the volunteers and people who help make our dining hall welcoming. The mood in the dining hall has improved tremendously since we’ve started to decorate it more. It really seems like a small thing, but it does matter. Thanks to all those who spend their time in the men’s dining hall, the guests really appreciate your hard work! (It’s officially oatmeal and hot chocolate season!)
Thanks for staying tuned to our quick update and be sure to check back by Christmas, we’ll have our big holiday party and we want to make sure we cover that thoroughly. Please keep St. John’s in mind during this holiday season, and if you’d like to get involved in any way please reach out to us, we’d love to hear from you. Until next time!
