Holiday Hope – Community Thread
Holiday Hope and Hometown for the Holidays – Stillwater are partnering up this year to bring the Stillwater area community hope and celebration like never before!
This year marks the 55th anniversary of Community Thread’s Holiday Hope program, which has provided support to financially struggling individuals and families in central Washington County since 1970. Last year, the program supported nearly 900 households, benefiting 3,013 individuals, including 1,723 children. We are grateful to all of the donors, sponsors, and volunteers for helping brighten the holiday season!
Thank you for helping making Holiday Hope 2025 a success! We look forward to celebrating the holidays with you, again, next year.
