Christmas Friendship Dinner
Dec

Christmas Friendship Dinner

  • Friday, December 25, 2026
  • 11:00 AM 12:00 PM
  • Curtis D. Menard Memorial Sports Center (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Come out and celebrate the gift of friendship and fellowship with us. This is our ‘gift’ back to the community. We’ll be doing facepainting, balloon twisting, and an anonymous elf drive where we collect toys for Santa to distribute.

Because Santa’s needs a little extra help this time of year all year long we collect gently used or like new toys; repair, wash, and/or restore them back to new condition and give these awesome toys a second chance at a new life with another child who might not have otherwise received a gift or toy for the holiday. If you’d like to donate your gently used toys to this cause then please contact us to arrange a free pickup.

Also, while Santa is making miracles happen, our team of face painters and balloon twisters will be volunteering their time and materials to provide an extra entertainment element to this community gift.

Hello neighborhood bones and ghouls!

We want to invite you to participate in our ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’ themed toy drive and Halloween Party. For the past 4 years our family has been working like secret elves behind the scene; collecting and gathering toys for ‘Santa’ to give to community children at the Christmas Friendship Dinner on Christmas Day. This year we would like to invite you all to join us to help in this process.

How it works:

  • Between October 24th and October 31st bring a new or gently used toy and place it in the donations bin located at The Little Free Library (Charter #148070)

  • Take 1 token per toy donated.

  • Stop by again on October 31st between 3 to 9pm to ‘Trick or Treat’ and redeem the token for a free spooky service by Gradient Expressions.

  • Can’t make it back on Halloween, it’s ok save the token for a free future service by local artist from Gradient Expressions.
