2023 Gingerbread Home Build

Competition Fundraiser!

 

Grab your family and friends for a friendly competition of Gingerbread Home Building! Who has the best "building skills"? Show off your awesome creativity!

 

We are asking community members to rally their friends, family, and networks to support our work. We're continuing the Gingerbread Home Build Competition, and it would be great if the whole community joined in.

Did you know? Most of the emergency needs in the months of November, December and January are families with children and seniors that have no heat or hot water.
