Children ’ s Christmas Party
What do the holidays mean for you ? Maybe it is a warm cup of cocoa by the fire or seeing family and friends for a big holiday feast . It might be twinkling lights or lighting candles on the menorah . Or maybe it is a visit from Santa and his reindeer .
The holidays should be a time of warmth and love . But for too many of our neighbors , it can be a painful reminder of hardship and strife . On any given night in San Diego , more than 8,000 of our neighbors experience homelessness . Of these , 4,000 neighbors are unsheltered and living on the streets . Hunger , illness and exposure to the elements do not stop just because it ’ s Christmas time .
