Last night’s Deck the Trees Fundraiser & Gala was a truly special evening in support of the SVCM Fuel Fund—helping keep our neighbors warm this winter. We were honored to provide the space for this special evening and to see so many local businesses and sponsors come together to support the SVCM Fuel Fund. The room was filled with generosity, joy, and a deep sense of community, and we’re so grateful to everyone who made it such a meaningful night.

Thank you to the Deck the Trees Committee for their leadership and heart:
