MARCHING SANTA'S TOY DRIVE 2025:

For 10 years, the sound of sirens, laughter, and Santa’s cheer has filled Crestwood Estates.

Founded by Shelley Marengo and Jules Galiouras, the Crestwood Estates Marching Santa Parade & Christmas Toy Drive continues to turn holiday spirit into real community impact. With the Help of The Crestwood Estates Board and Residents of the Community we are able to collect the toys to those in need in our community.

This year, neighbors donated 210 toys to the Northlake Homeless Coalition, helping bring joy to children in need. Thank you to our resident's generosity and giving spirit to make it such a success!

With support from Fire District 12 under Chief Ollie Brumfield and the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office, including a Bearcat appearance, this beloved tradition continues to grow year after year.

2025 THANKSGIVING FOOD DRIVE:

Y’all never disappoint!! Thanks to your kindness and generosity, our Crestwood Cares food drive was a tremendous success. Your donations weighed in at a whopping 2,010 lbs!

The staff at Northshore Food Bank were excited and very appreciative. Thank you to all of our residents who contributed to make this such a successful drive .

And without our dedicated volunteers, this wouldn’t be possible. They are the stars. Thank you to Andrea Cicero and Dom, Kristen Ellis, Annie Whitaker and Harley, Christen Timmons, Melissa Smith, Mary Silbernagel, Faye Pendergrast and a special thank you to Stephanie Pope for arranging 4 St. Paul students to collect and load all of the donation bags onto the trailer (provided by Jules Galiouras) pulled by Jeff Marengo.

Have a blessed and Happy Thanksgiving!
