Bring change home for the holidays

The holidays are a time for reflection and commitment to the things that matter most — the people we love, the communities that lift us up, and the simple pleasures that bring us joy.

We wish you a wonderful holiday season and a happy and healthy new year. Happy holidays, from our family to yours — and here’s to bringing change home.

-The Obama Family
