Deck the halls and hang the holly – This holiday season, we are incredibly grateful for every single member of our Just in Time community! And what better way to express our gratitude than with a party? 

On Saturday, December 2nd, Just in Time brought together more than 150 participants, alumni, volunteers, staff and supporters for our annual My First Home For The Holidays celebration. 

Those in attendance enjoyed a traditional holiday feast with towering plates of smoked ham, mashed potatoes and green beans. And as everyone settled down to eat, Just in Time youth took the stage to share inspiring stories of resilience and personal growth. 

Janae Jackson, Michael Rincon Bonillas and Myrna Gomez each received awards: Janae for “Confident,” Myrna for “Capable,” and Michael for “Connected.”  

JIT participant Tashiya took home the “Triple Threat” award for demonstrating enormous growth in all three categories.  

Each youth in attendance was gifted with a Santa Bag stuffed with goodies provided by Jennifer Moores’ Family and Friends and colorful hand-knit scarves donated by Louarn Sorkin’s Creative Yarn Group.
