Light Up St. Bernard: 10th Annual “Will Light for Food” Event
📅 Saturday, December 6th | 6:00 – 8:30 PM
Join us for St. Bernard’s beloved holiday tradition — the 10th Annual “Will Light for Food” event! This friendly holiday light contest was created to bring our amazing community together in the spirit of the season and to give back to neighbors in need.
🌟 How It Works
Participating homes will be officially judged by YOU — the spectators! Between 6:00 and 8:30 PM, stroll or drive through the neighborhood to enjoy the lights and place a canned good (or more!) in the collection container at your favorite decorated home.
🏆 The home with the most canned goods at 8:30 PM will win first place! But in truth, every participant is a winner — all collected food items will be donated to St. Clement’s Food Pantry to support local families.
A map of participating homes will be posted here in the Discussion section one week before the event, along with a list of high-demand food items for the pantry.
