Embracing the true spirit of the season, DreamOn Group, in partnership with House of Neighborly Service, Woodforest National Bank, Localism, and THINK GOD, hosted a heartwarming Toy, Coat, and Blanket Drive that brought comfort, joy, and connection to families on San Antonio’s Westside.
Thanks to the generous support of Woodforest National Bank and community partners, donations were collected and distributed to benefit 80 families, reaching more than 150 children, parents, seniors, and caregivers at Plaza de Sueños. The celebration culminated in a festive “Prayer Breakfast with Pancho Claus,” where guests were welcomed with warmth, holiday cheer, and a message of faith and unity.
Sandra Morales, Executive Director of House of Neighborly Service, shared her gratitude for the continued partnership:
“House of Neighborly Service is grateful to continue its partnership with DreamOn Group, building on last year’s successful toy drive. This holiday season, DreamOn Group once again stepped up by organizing a generous toy and blanket drive with Localism and planning the festive Breakfast with Pancho Claus. Thanks to this partnership, families and older adults in our Westside community can experience joy, connection, and the true spirit of the holidays.”
LeRoy Cavazos-Reyna of Localism echoed those sentiments, emphasizing the power of collaboration:
“Localism, Inc. is honored to collaborate with DreamOn Group, House of Neighborly Service, Woodforest National Bank, and THINK GOD this holiday season. Together, we are committed to ensuring our Westside families feel the warmth, care, and dignity they deserve. Community is strongest when we uplift one another.”
Julissa Carielo, President of DreamOn Group, reflected on the impact of the initiative:
“This collaborative effort reflects the power of community and the importance of coming together to help those in need. From toys that spark joy to coats and blankets that provide warmth, every contribution made a meaningful difference. I’m deeply grateful to our partners and donors whose generosity truly embodies the spirit of the season.”
