The holidays are a joyous time for our community, but as we celebrate the fellowship and good cheer of the season, we must not forget those who face the challenges of houselessness or economic and social circumstances. For more than 36 years, the Veterans in Santa Cruz have provided Holiday Dinners to hundreds of our friends and neighbors. We are asking our community to help make this a special event by donating some time or a few of your holiday dollars to support the meal. Please help make this a season of joy and generosity and consider donating warm weather gear to help provide some winter and holiday cheer.
