Holiday of Hope - Island-Style Christmas Cookie Corner

🍪 A Taste of the Islands: Bringing Holiday Cheer to Oceanside's Families! 🌴

Help Pasifika Culinary Project Light Up the 'Holiday of Hope'

This Christmas season, the Pasifika Culinary Project is trading our savory island plates for something sweet! We are thrilled to announce that we are participating in the City of Oceanside's annual Holiday of Hope event, a heartwarming celebration dedicated to supporting local, underprivileged families during the festive season.

Our Mission: An Island-Style Christmas Cookie Corner

We are setting up a very special, hands-on activity: the Island-Style Christmas Cookie Decorating Table!

Imagine the scene: The air is filled with Christmas music, and at our table, families are gathering to decorate holiday cookies infused with the vibrant, welcoming spirit of the Pacific Islands. This isn't just about frosting and sprinkles; it's about sharing a moment of joy, creativity, and connection—a true taste of Pasifika hospitality, or fa'a Samoa (in the Samoan tradition), where everyone is treated like family.

For many of these children, a simple, fun activity like decorating a cookie is a bright spot they will remember long after the lights are packed away. We want to give them the best ingredients and materials to make their culinary creations truly magical!

🎁 How Your Donation Spreads the Hope

Every dollar you contribute directly powers the fun and helps us share the spirit of the islands with Oceanside's most deserving families.
