This holiday season, Matt Talbot was filled with joy, warmth, and the spirit of giving during our annual Holiday Celebration. The day began with our Holiday Around the World meal, a unique culinary journey that brought flavors from across the globe right here to Matt Talbot. Guests received tickets to visit different food stations, each featuring a dish from a different country, offering a delicious opportunity to experience and appreciate global traditions. Thank you to La Paz Restaurant, Billy’s Restaurant, Lou Ann Cao’s hunger relief team, and the India Association’s hunger relief team for providing so many great food options for our guests!
In the evening, we enjoyed a special dinner generously provided by Raising Cane’s, featuring their signature chicken fingers and sides. Raising Cane’s also brought holiday magic for our youngest guests by hosting a cheerful Santa Claus who posed for pictures and spread Christmas cheer. Every child received a holiday gift, purchased with funds from a successful Raising Cane’s fundraiser held the previous week. We are incredibly grateful to all who contributed to making this celebration a heartwarming success!
One of the most heartwarming parts of the holiday was reading the notes sent in for our guests! Thank you to all the kind individuals who took time to write these words of encouragement! Each note was written by kind individuals who wanted to share peace, strength, and light with our guests. Together, we’re spreading hope this season.
