“This event is a family-friendly event each year to raise efforts for not only giving back during the holiday season, but kind of community togetherness - showing that together, we can really help those in need,” Lewis said. “[It’s] kind of that, ‘Better to give than receive’ mentality for this holiday season.”

Representatives from both nonprofits will be there to answer questions about their organizations, making the event a great way for the community to learn more about them.
