Our planned expenses were modified due to the very generous in-kind donations from our local merchants, church members and others that wanted to show support for the group and the overall concept of the project.  Because of this outpouring we were able to expand our services to the children and youth by including them in our Winter Wishes - Secret Santa program for Christmas.  We ended the sessions with a combined Christmas Gift Distribution Party that was held on Saturday December 22, 2018.  By all accounts, we consider the project to be a huge success and because of this our project will be revamped and continued as a viable community-based program offered to P.S./I.S. 384 (right across the street from us) and our surrounding Bushwick/Ridgewood neighborhood.  The sessions are open to the public and will restart in mid-February.
