Xtream Christmas in July

Please join us for Xtream Christmas In July on July 27^th at Evelyn K. Davis Park from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

This free outdoor event offers families food and fun, with something for everyone, while raising awareness of services available to them thru The Salvation Army including rent and utility assistance, food pantries, mobile breakfast feeding program, youth programs and so much more. All funds raised through sponsorships and online donations, after event costs, go to fund these programs.

We also know we cannot do it alone. It takes a village. This event is about connecting and educating the community on ALL resources available to help them or improve their lives. That is why we invite other nonprofits and vendors to join us in this event.https://bit.ly/xijdsm2024
