During the holidays, Southwest Key Programs works to ensure all of the youth in our care enjoy special celebrations, activities and traditional holiday meals. Staff at our shelters take extra care to celebrate various cultural traditions with the children during this time of year, such as La Posada, Noche Buena and Dia del Los Reyes.

Southwest Key headquarters staff set up holiday activities for youth at Casa Blanca. Kids took part in decorating cookies, holiday coloring books and ornaments and pinecone bird feeders.

After the afternoon’s holiday activities concluded, Santa made an appearance to spread holiday cheer and pass out gifts and candy to all the kids.

At Southwest Key, we are grateful to be able to serve the youth in our care. We are proud to bring tidings of joy during the holidays and throughout the year.
