The 2024 GraceWorks Manger event was nothing short of extraordinary. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we were able to make the holiday season brighter for thousands of children and families in Williamson County and beyond. Here’s a look at the impact we achieved together:
By the Numbers
- 11,608 gifts were lovingly selected by families through the Manger.
- 1,563 children experienced the joy of receiving personalized Christmas presents.
- 750 Christmas Food Boxes were distributed, ensuring families had special meals to share during the holiday season.
Sharing the Joy Beyond Williamson County
This year, we were blessed to have an abundance of gifts donated. After the Manger event, we partnered with eight other organizations to share our surplus gifts with children in neighboring communities and counties. This act of giving extended the love and hope of the season far beyond our immediate reach, embodying the true spirit of Christmas.
A Community Effort
The success of the Manger would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our volunteers, donors, and partners. Together, we created a “store-like” environment where families could select gifts that were meaningful to their children, restoring dignity and joy to the holiday season. Each smile and heartfelt “thank you” from families served reminded us of the profound impact of this event.
Looking Ahead
As we reflect on the success of the 2024 Manger, we are already looking forward to next year’s event. Our efforts to share Christ’s love and hope with our neighbors remains as strong as ever. Together, we can continue to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
To everyone who contributed—whether through donations, volunteer hours, or spreading the word—thank you for being the hands and feet of Christ in our community. Your generosity and compassion made this year’s Manger event unforgettable.
We can’t wait to see how we can grow and serve even more families in 2025!
