Each December, The Family Place hosts hundreds of children, caregivers, and supporters for our annual Gingerbread Festival at Tracy Hall in Norwich. The festival is a fun-filled, family-friendly event that includes:
Gingerbread House Gallery and Auction, featuring dozens of handcrafted houses from community volunteers
Children’s activities, including cookie decorating and more
Country Store and Café with lunch, baked goods, and gifts (held next door at the Norwich Congregational Parish Hall)
Giving Tree donation program to support families in need in our community
The opportunity to learn more about The Family Place and for families to sign up for our programs
