Vista Rise Collective (formerly Live Violence Free) is overflowing with gratitude for our community’s extraordinary support of this year’s Gift-A-Holiday program. Thanks to you, all 187 holiday wish lists from local survivors and their children were fulfilled, the largest number in the program’s history.
That collective effort represents more than $20,000 in community support, directly benefiting individuals and families who have experienced domestic violence, sexual assault, or child abuse. Each fulfilled wish offered more than a gift. It offered relief, joy, and a powerful reminder that survivors are not alone.
We are deeply thankful to every individual who selected an ornament, shopped thoughtfully, donated wrapping supplies, or helped spread the word. This program would not be possible without the generosity of our community. A special thank you to our community partners who stepped up in big ways: Target, Margaritaville, Barton Health and Meyers Elementary School.
Because of our community, 187 survivors and families experienced a brighter holiday season and a reminder that this community truly rises together.
With gratitude,
Vista Rise Collective
