(SOLD OUT) Winter Wonderland 2024
THIS EVENT HAS SOLD OUT! Thank you to all who have registered!
On December 11th, 2024 Intercultural Family Services, Peer2You, and BOOST CDC will host our second annual Winter Wonderland Holiday Give-Back at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. This event holds deep significance for us and the community we proudly serve. Winter Wonderland is not just about spreading holiday cheer—it’s about giving back to families impacted by gun violence, offering hope and support during the winter season.
The holiday give-back offers a first-come, first-served opportunity for families to receive gifts and coats. More than just material items, this event provides a space where we foster community connections, giving families a sense of belonging and solidarity. For many of the youth we mentor through Peer2You, this event is a reminder that they are not alone in facing the challenges of violence in their neighborhoods. By addressing gun violence awareness alongside the warmth of giving, we aim to provide a platform to discuss safety, peacebuilding, and healing during the holiday season.
