Holiday Hope – Community Thread

Celebrating 56 Years of Holiday Hope

Since 1970, Community Thread’s Holiday Hope program has supported individuals and families facingfinancial hardship in central Washington County.
 
In 2025, Hometown for the Holidays joined Holiday Hope as a community partner, helping us create an even more welcoming and meaningful experience for those receiving support. Together, we’re continuing to build a program that brings neighbors together and makes the holiday season a little brighter for everyone involved.
 
We’re grateful to the donors, sponsors, and volunteers who make Holiday Hope possible each year.

Last year, Holiday Hope helped make the season brighter for our neighbors.

Local children experienced a brighter holiday season!
