Sip.Shop.Support & Toy Drive Benefiting My Safe Harbor
On Monday December 2, we hosted an unforgettable evening of community, connection, and giving at 26 Degree Brewing Company, our monthly event highlighting local businesses and nonprofits. This month’s event was extra special as we partnered with My Safe Harbor to collect toys for children in need. Together, we celebrated the holiday spirit by supporting local vendors, connecting with friends, and making a difference in our community.
A Night to Remember
From the moment guests walked through the door, the energy was electric. Attendees were greeted with festive vibes, the buzz of local entrepreneurs showcasing their one-of-a-kind products, and a beautiful cause that brought us all together. Thanks to the generosity of everyone who attended, we collected an incredible number of new, unwrapped toys to support My Safe Harbor’s mission of helping those in need.

A Heartfelt Thank You
This was my first Sip.Shop.Support event as the new Director since Angel passed the torch, and I cannot thank everyone enough for the support and the amazing welcome I’ve received. Your kindness is a reminder of the power of community and the joy of giving back. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who attended, donated toys, and supported local businesses. Together, we made an impact and brought smiles to the faces of children who need it most.
