Making Wishes Come True for Children of All Ages
 

Navidad en el Barrio's mission is making life more pleasant for those less fortunate than others.  Diversifying its interests to all age groups has enabled the organization to continue bringing smiles to those who otherwise might have lost all hope.

A Message From Our President

Navidad en el Barrio began at the Ripley House Community Center in 1987 with a $5,000 contribution from Rainbo Baking Company. This  level  of contribution continued until 1993.

In 1993, Coca-Cola Bottling Company and Fiesta Mart Inc. became our major sponsors  by  donating $8,500 and acquiring the Astroarena Pavillion for our annual Navidad  en el Barrio Christmas Program. Our major sponsors have also assisted in all our various functions and fund-raisers. This level of support continued through 1996.

In 1994, one individual company, Chefs Produce, demonstrated its commitment to Navidad en el Barrio by donating $15,000 to the Christmas Program. This level of support brought their total contribution to $31,000 since becoming a corporate sponsor in 1992.

Today, Navidad en el Barrio has grown to encompass Christmas Programs in three major cities, Snow Day in Texas and special events for our "older kids".

Our hard work and dedication would have produced much less were it not for the tireless efforts of thousands of volunteers and our treasured corporate sponsors. 

We invite you to learn more about us, visit our events, volunteer your help, send your contributions, and make a personal difference in our world.
