Genesis Family Night with Santa!

If you heard gales of laughter echoing across East Texas the other night, not to worry, it was probably us. Our Genesis family came together for a night with Santa, and we stuffed stockings for our friends at PATH – People Attempting to Help. Santa and the GenElves will hand out these stockings next week, helping PATH spread love to the families they serve.

Merry Christmas from the Genesis family!

The Annual HERO Christmas Party with Gold Network of East Texas! 🎁

Joy was everywhere this weekend as more than 100 incredible heroes and their families came together to celebrate the season. The day kicked off with hot cocoa and a visit from Jolly ol’ Saint Nick at Nobilitea, followed by an over-the-top Christmas celebration at Haute Totz, complete with games, Buddy the Elf, Comet the Reindeer, and a free shopping spree for each family!

Our Genesis elves were thrilled to join in, handing out puzzles, games, and goody bags. It’s an honor to support Gold Network as they surround childhood cancer families with comfort, joy, and community during the holidays.

Ding dong! Genesis Delivers!

This is what it’s all about for us. Sure, the shopping was a ton of fun, but helping spread happiness and presents to people through our community partners is the most rewarding part by far!

Last week, Santa’s helpers dropped off wrapped gifts to The Children's Advocacy Center of Smith County, The Hand Up Network, The Salvation Army, and The Tyler-Smith County Child Welfare Board. Each organization plays a vital role in connecting with and serving the people of East Texas. They are our heroes. We are incredibly blessed to live in such a great place and be surrounded by so many great people!

Fire up that sleigh, Rudolph! There’s more to come!

✨ Pure MAGIC! ✨

It’s the biggest, brightest, most joy-packed night of the year: Genesis Goes Shopping! 🛒

Throughout the year, our team has quietly set aside a portion of every paycheck for the Genesis Gives Back fund. And tonight is when all those small acts of generosity turn into overflowing carts, huge smiles, and Christmas magic for families in our community.

Armed with wish lists from families involved with our incredible community partners, the Genesis family invades Walmart on a mission to make this season brighter for kids and families who deserve to feel the love. Honestly, it is the best way we know to kick off the holidays. Ho ho hooooo!
