A Night of Connection, Celebration, and Community
The holidays are often centered around a table. Where stories are shared, laughter is heard, and people come together. But for many young adults with lived experience in foster care, that table has looked different… or has been missing altogether.
The Holiday Table was created to change that.
On December 10th, we’re gathering foster care alumni for a night that is about more than celebration. It’s about connection, relationships, and building chosen family.
💛 Why This Night Matters
For many of our young adults, the holiday season can be one of the hardest times of the year. While others gather with family traditions and lifelong connections, too many are spending this time feeling isolated or disconnected.
The Holiday Table exists to change that experience.
This evening is intentionally designed to:
- Build meaningful relationships
- Strengthen relational permanency
- Create space for belonging and connection
- Help young adults form trusted, lasting support systems
- Celebrate the strength, resilience, and future of our youth
Because research and lived experience both show the same truth:
When people have strong, supportive relationships, they are more likely to thrive, heal, and break cycles of trauma.
🍽️ What the Night Looks Like
Guests will enjoy a warm, welcoming evening filled with:
- A shared holiday meal
- Music and celebration
- Interactive activities and conversation spaces
- Connection-building moments designed to help people truly meet one another
- Holiday surprises and giveaways
- A space where no one has to sit alone
Most importantly, every seat at The Holiday Table represents something bigger: connection, dignity, and belonging.
