Mission officials and community groups held several seasonal events in late 2024, the City of Mission reported in a news segment.

A Veterans Day celebration honored those who served in the U.S. armed forces. The Mission Police Department, together with Crime Stoppers, distributed more than 300 Thanksgiving dinners to registered residents, the segment said. Mayor Nauri González Garza lit the city’s large Christmas tree at Leo Peña Park to kick off the holiday season.

Community partners also held a free health fair run by the Chamber of Commerce and the Mission Regional Medical Center, open to all residents. The city reported the Adopta un Abuelo program delivered gifts to several senior-care centers, and the Cops for Kids program, promoted by the police department and the city, distributed presents to children.

The segment invited residents to prepare for the city’s January 2025 citrus festival and directed viewers to the city’s social channels for more information (spoken in the segment as "www.missiontexas.us").

The news piece did not include detailed attendance figures for most events beyond the Thanksgiving dinners count, nor did it provide funding sources, budgets or formal council actions connected to any of the events.
