homes, jobs, education.
Love is an action word."

Wellspring's 16th Annual Holiday Store
Tidings of Great Joy!
550 children from 250 families will wake up with smiles on their faces Christmas morning because of the generosity and help of the whole community. Thank you!
Thank you to the 125 volunteers who welcomed and helped as personal shoppers, set-up and cleaned-up, played with kids, gift wrapped, decorated cookies, and helped cook and provide delicious food, including Trish Castraberti's Sunday Gravy. The mountain of toys needed were provided by the groups who held toy drives, holiday parties, and the countless individuals and families who donated.
