The holiday season is a time to come together, to give, and to celebrate the bonds that unite a community. This year, the Apopka Serves Foundation capped off an extraordinary year of giving through our Coffee Clause initiative with the much-anticipated Breakfast with Santa event. Thanks to the collective efforts of our community, it was a magical morning filled with joy, laughter, and the true spirit of Christmas.
First and foremost, to the People of Apopka, Friends, Neighbors, and Local Businesses: Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We did it!!!!!!!!
This year’s Breakfast with Santa was nothing short of spectacular, and it was all because of you. Together, we made Christmas dreams come true for 150 deserving children in Apopka. These children and their families experienced the joy and hope of the season in a way that will resonate long after the decorations have been packed away.
A Community Effort of Love and Dedication
We extend our deepest gratitude to the Apopka Serves Foundation volunteers for their tireless fundraising efforts. Their commitment ensured that every donation was managed seamlessly, turning generosity into tangible joy for these families.
A heartfelt thank-you goes out to our generous sponsors, including Orlando Health, Seacoast Bank, @aviateinn, Construction Unlimited, and the many individuals who donated. Your support made it possible to fulfill countless Christmas wishes and bring smiles to so many faces.
To Our Wonderful Volunteers
This event would not have been possible without the amazing dedication of volunteers from:
The Masons at Orange Lodge #36
@ignitechurchfl
Southland Construction
Seacoast Bank
Orlando Health
And our neighbors who showed up to lend a helping hand.
From flipping pancakes to serving hot chocolate, wrapping presents to distributing gifts, your energy, selflessness, and holiday cheer created an unforgettable morning for everyone involved.
A Special Shoutout
No holiday event is complete without a visit from Santa Claus himself! A big thank-you to our very own Santa, who brought the magic of the North Pole to Apopka and saved the day from the mischievous Grinch. Your presence lit up the room and reminded us all of the magic of Christmas. A special shout out to Apopka Fire Department for volunteering to transport Santa so he arrived on time.
A Celebration of Community
Breakfast with Santa was about more than just gifts and pancakes—it was about community, compassion, and connection. It showcased what can happen when a town comes together with a shared purpose: to spread joy, hope, and community during the holidays.
As we reflect on this incredible event and the season of giving, we are reminded of the strength and generosity of our Apopka community. We are inspired by what we accomplished together and excited for what the future holds.
Apopka, you are incredible!
From all of us at Apopka Serves Foundation, thank you for your unwavering support, your open hearts, and your helping hands. Merry Christmas and may the new year bring even more opportunities to connect, serve, and give back.
With gratitude and hope,
The Apopka Serves Foundation Team ❤️🎄🎁
