Join us for the 13th Annual Community Christmas Gumbo & Toy Drive!
Our Founder and Executive Director, John Williams, developed Community Christmas Gumbo 13 years ago in his hometown of Sunset with the desire to show others the importance of always remembering where you came from.
Each year, through generous donations and sponsorships, we are able to hand out over 200 hot bowls of gumbo and just as many toys! The smile on the kids' faces make it worth all the hard work that goes into planning this event!
But don't be fooled, our volunteers are smiling just as BIG!
