Breakfast with Santa 2025 at West Ridge Community Church

The holiday season is a time for joy, connection, and generosity, and Breakfast with Santa at West Ridge Community Church in Elgin continues to embody all of these values. This beloved annual tradition once again brought the community together, with thoughtful touches that made the experience feel as magical as ever.

The morning was filled with holiday cheer and meaningful connections. Families gathered to enjoy a delicious pancake breakfast while visiting with Santa Claus, joyfully portrayed by Rob Burhite. Mrs. Claus made a special appearance, spreading laughter and holiday excitement throughout the room.

While the event is full of fun, it also serves a deeper purpose. Breakfast with Santa gives Fellowship Housing staff the opportunity to connect with the West Ridge community, who support Fellowship Housing moms so generously throughout the year. Each year, Fellowship Housing moms and their children are invited to attend, giving the West Ridge community a chance to love on these families who have been working hard to build a new future for their families. It’s a meaningful time to say thank you, share stories of impact, and celebrate the true spirit of the season. Fellowship Housing staff also join in by flipping pancakes and keeping the juice flowing, adding to the warmth of the morning.

Events like Breakfast with Santa are a beautiful reminder of the power of community and the joy that comes from gathering together. To everyone who participated, volunteered, and gave, thank you for helping make this holiday tradition so special. We look forward to carrying this spirit of generosity and connection into 2025 and beyond.
