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.
