WARREN, Ohio - For five years, Ongoing Neighborhood Empowerment (O.N.E.) has been bringing families together for the holidays while also offering access to critical resources.

The organization's annual holiday event, Christmas with the Community is set to feature free meals, photos with Santa, a toy giveaway, cookie decorating and more. Organizers say the goal is to ensure "families of all ages can experience holiday magic at no cost."

Christmas with the Community will be taking place Saturday December 20 from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM at 375 N. Park Ave, Warren, Ohio.

O.N.E. works year-round to address the needs of the Mahoning Valley amid economic pressures and insecurities. The organization, led by community advocate Moriah McCorkle says, holiday community events like this one offer "seasonal joy, but also access to resources, connections, and support systems that can impact families far beyond the holiday season."
