Winter Wonderland: Spreading Joy, Warmth, and Community this Holiday Season
January 17, 2025

This holiday season, WOM United brought the magic of the holidays to life with our heartwarming event, Winter Wonderland. Designed to uplift families in need, this gathering was more than just a celebration—it was a testament to the power of community, generosity, and togetherness.


With invaluable support from Best Starts for Kids from King County and Toys for Tots, Winter Wonderland became a beacon of hope and joy for many. Their generous funding and contributions enabled us to distribute toys to countless children, ensuring they felt the holiday magic.


Families came together to share warm bowls of chili, savor delicious snacks, and most importantly, enjoy a safe and welcoming space to celebrate the season. The smiles on children’s faces and the heartfelt gratitude from families reminded us of the impact such events can have.


Winter Wonderland wasn’t just about handing out toys—it was about building community, spreading joy, and offering support during a time of year that can be difficult for so many.


As we reflect on the success of Winter Wonderland, we are filled with gratitude for our partners, volunteers, and the families who joined us. Together, we made the holidays brighter and proved the power of coming together as a community.

Here’s to spreading joy, creating memories, and building connections—because every family deserves a little wonder during the holidays.

Celebrating Community and Creativity at Hope’s Closet and the Grandma Zone

By alesiac • June 13, 2025
At the Angel of Hope Engagement Center, we believe in the power of community, creativity, and compassion. Our recent events at Hope’s Community Closet and Grandma’s Hands programming brought together seniors, youth, caregivers, and families for unforgettable moments of connection and joy. A heartwarming highlight from Hope’s Closet: a gentleman arrived in worn slippers and left proudly in a new pair of shoes — a simple yet powerful reminder of how dignity can be restored through care and kindness. In the Grandma Zone, we honored Caregiver Appreciation Day with gratitude-filled activities and joyful interactions. From chair yoga sessions led by our “Grandma’s Hands” team to therapeutic art-making where seniors created beautiful jewelry and custom photo placemats through sublimation, the energy was uplifting and inclusive. One of the most meaningful moments was when the first child received their “Every Child Matters” t-shirt, part of our awareness initiative through Grandma’s Hands Designs & Crafts. Youth participants also stayed active and engaged by hosting our Lovely Ladies Lemonade & Refreshment Stand, building both entrepreneurial spirit and community trust. ο»Ώ These events reflect the heart of what we do — bridging generations, supporting wellness, and spreading hope, one meaningful connection at a time.
