Pantry-To-Table
Holiday Treasures Program
The Holiday Treasures program is a unique and rewarding experience for mothers who actively participate in our year-round workshops and events. Throughout the year, moms earn "Snuggle Bucks" as they engage in various activities, which are credited to their accounts. In December, these accumulated snuggle bucks can be used at our special Holiday Treasures event, set up like a festive Christmas store. This event allows moms to shop for holiday gifts for their children using their earned snuggle bucks instead of receiving prepackaged gifts. This personalized shopping experience empowers moms to choose items that best suit their children's needs and wishes, making the holiday season even more special.
