With Gratitude: paying it forward & making a difference

We want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to the incredible volunteers, supporters, community members, our law enforcement family, and generous sponsors who make the Navidad En El Barrio journey possible. Your dedication and generosity is the the heart and soul of our work, and thanks to you, we are able to uplift children, seniors, veterans, and students in ways that truly matter.

Every act of kindness, every hour of your time, and every donation makes a meaningful impact, helping us fulfill our mission to bring hope and support to those in need within our community.

✨ Navidad En El Barrio is here because of YOU – it is created by the community, driven by the community, and dedicated to serving the community. ✨

When Volunteers Become Storytellers: Cece & Our Founder in 2012

Back in 2012, a lifelong volunteer Cece stepped into a new role, interviewer! 🎤 In this special flashback, she sat down with our founder, Israel Gomez, to talk about the heart behind Navidad En El Barrio and why this mission still matters today. His words were simple: bring joy, dignity, and hope to children who need it most. 💖

🙏 Thank you, Cece and every volunteer who proves that one person’s commitment can touch thousands of lives and keep this legacy alive for generations to come.
