Holiday Events

Winter Wishes and Pirates Fest

Winter Wishes

During the holiday season, Pirates employees - from executive to entry level - who volunteer are paired with a child from the community and receive their wish list to purchase items from. The executive staff donates funds to purchase bikes, games, and toys that are larger in budget, while the other volunteers are encouraged to buy what they are able for their assigned child.

A day is set aside for packing Santa sacks for each child’s belongings and volunteer ‘elves’ attend the workshop to help pack. Approximately 200 children received presents in 2023.

Thanksgiving Distribution

More than 300 families were served with produce and turkeys for our Thanksgiving Distribution.
