Yule Blog!

St. Anthony’s has been sharing the Holiday Spirit now for 60 years! Talk about keeping “the home fires burning”! Not with logs, but with the generosity of warm human hearts in one of the toughest times of the year to feel hopeful if you’re on the other side of prosperity. This past Monday evening, those home fires were brightly lit for our annual Children’s Holiday Party. What: Children in the Tenderloin? Oh yes–@ 3500 of them. Many families in the Tenderloin are clients of St. Anthony’s, and many of their children attended, supported by enthusiastic volunteers—many of them college students, and a wonderful Mom, whose high school daughter was studying for finals…so, she sent her Mom to help the kids decorate ginger cookies!

Games, goodies, and more gave good cheer and then some! The sound level alone registered off the joy meter: human hearts aglow. Healing Holidays and a hope filled New Year to one and all!
