As the holiday season approaches, we're excited to kick off our Four Ways to Spread Holiday Cheer initiative, offering shipbuilders an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in our community. This year, we're focused on bringing joy to children and victims of domestic violence currently living in local shelters. Your generosity can make this season brighter for families and individuals facing challenging times.
Here’s how you can spread cheer this holiday season:
-
Adopt an Angel – Choose an Angel to fulfill holiday wishes for children in need, or support adult shelter residents who are rebuilding their lives after experiencing domestic violence. Each adoption provides essential items and gifts to those who need it most.
-
Toy Drive – Donate new, unwrapped toys for children and families by bringing them to designated drop-off locations across the shipyard.
-
Community Food Drive – Drop off non-perishable food items at designated donation sites to help stock local food pantries and ensure no family goes hungry this season.
-
Wreath-Laying Tribute for Veterans – Join us in honoring veterans by volunteering for wreath-laying preparation on December 13. The wreath-laying event will take place at Biloxi National Cemetery on December 14.
Mark your calendar for our Holiday Giving Event and Donation Drop-Off on Thursday, December 12, at the Maritime Training Academy. To view wish list items for any of our holiday giving opportunities, visit the holiday giving page.
For questions or additional details on adopting an Angel, donating, or getting involved, please reach out to CommunityRelations@hii-ingalls.com.
Let’s come together to make a real impact this holiday season!
