The holiday spirit was alive and well in Ossining as families lined up around the parking lot of St. Ann’s School for the ninth annual Gullotta House Holiday Giveaway.

This year’s event provided 750 presents and $700 in gift cards to families in need. In addition to gifts, 250 hot meals were distributed, clothing items were given out, cookies and hot cocoa were served and Santa stopped by for pictures.

The giveaway is part of Gullotta House’s ongoing mission to support the community during challenging times. Organizers say the event is about more than just gifts – it’s about bringing people together and spreading hope.
