We’ll be ready next December for more.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13TH, 2025

A day packed with events from wreath making to tree lighting and singing in the park!

Wreath Making Class

@ the Bathhouse: 10-12.
All skill levels welcome! Time has come to get your wintry spirit blooming. Join us for our third year of wreath making classes- a magical morning of crafting with guidance from Nicole Morgan who will show you how to weave your own unique, wild holiday wreath. Please gather a few fresh cuts from your own backyard and bring to class for a personal touch. Nicole will be bringing in evergreen, holly, rosemary, rose hips, ivy, and other winter bounty from the northwest to round out your backyard forage. 

Complimentary pastries and tea will be available. Two kiddos are welcome to work with an adult. Price per person: $100. No refunds as foliage will be harvested the prior day. Spots are limited, so register here now!

Wellspring Family Services Donation Drive

Wellspring Family Services recently announced the difficult decision to close its Early Learning Center after losing more than $500,000 in state funding. For nearly four decades, the center provided free, high-quality, trauma-informed care that helped parents remain employed and work toward stability while overcoming homelessness and financial hardship. Wellspring is partnering with neighborhood organizations to place the 37 children affected by the closure.  

Even in this challenging moment, Wellspring’s mission to keep families housed and stable continues. This winter, their annual Holiday Toy Drive will provide gifts for more than 1,200 children—family sign-ups filled in just one day. And Wellspring’s housing programs help parents pay rent, build budgets, and connect to the resources needed to create lasting stability for their children. The need for this support is greater than ever amid recent state and federal funding cuts. To learn more or make a gift, visit wellspringfs.org.
