During the holiday season, the P.A.’L.A.N.T.E. team comes together, decked out in festive Santa hats, to bring joy to our community. With over 500 gifts distributed to children and their families every year, our annual toy giveaway has become a cherished tradition. More than just a celebration, it is a way for us to spread holiday cheer, create lasting memories, and remind families that they are valued and supported.

​

This event would not be possible without the dedication of our staff and volunteers, whose energy and compassion make the day special for every child. We are deeply grateful to our supporters and generous sponsors—Columbia Community Service, Tahl Propp, Capital One, Papasito, and L&M Development Partners—who help make this tradition a reality year after year. Together, we continue to strengthen the spirit of giving and community that defines the holiday season.
