Christmas Gala 2020

This year has been a year of changes and challenges for all of us. We have continued to be there for people when they are in crisis (for some this was the first time they needed our services) but our services looked much different.


It will be the same for our annual Christmas Gala. It is still happening, it will just look different this year.


There are two options for the event:

  1. Attend one of our 10 in person locations
  2. Watch and participate online from the comfort of your own home


Click on "Register Today" to reserve a space at one of the locations or view at home.


Also, instead of having a one evening only silent auction this year, our silent auction will be available November 13 to 27. Check out a preview of some of the items and register to bid below.


On Friday, November 27 from 7:00-7:30, you will have the opportunity to watch videos about 2020 and the direction the Mission is going in for the future. You'll hear testimonies of lives that have been impacted and hear from our Executive Director, Marty Misener. Also, new this year, we will have a live auction as part of the livestream!


Please join us for an evening of fun, inspiration and opportunity to be a part of impacting lives of people in our own community by clicking on the "register now" button today.

Choose to attend at one of the 10 locations or participate from home!
