18th Annual Outpouring Oakhurst Christmas Feast December 23

OAKHURST, CA – You are invited to a free Outpouring Oakhurst Christmas Feast! This yearly tradition continues with the 18^th annual holiday event. Enjoy a delicious home cooked meal, hot cocoa, dessert and fellowship on Tuesday, December 23, 2025. Hosted at the Oakhurst Community Center, 39800 Fresno Flats Road in Oakhurst. No tickets or reservations are required. Doors open at 4:00 pm and dinner is served until 8:00 pm.

This is a community labor of love and something of a family tradition for Rebecca Kohout Simon. She’s not the creator of Oakhurst Outpouring. That honor belongs to Jamie Fenton, who delegated the responsibility to Rebecca when she moved away from the community.

Rebecca says, “I was 20 years old, third oldest in a family of 14 and loved planning events. Jamie was moving and was looking for someone to carry the torch her and I had a mutual friend, and that friend knew my love of coordinating events. She connected us, and the Lord worked everything out. and I took over the Oakhurst Outpouring. My family is amazing and always goes along with my next big adventure 🙂 so yes, I took charge of this event, but my whole family has been there and supported it the whole way! Our goal every year is to have the community come together and celebrate this wonderful season.”

This is no small undertaking. There is no paid staff, and donations are not tax deductible. This is simply an event to bring folks together to celebrate, to enjoy a festive meal and to catch up with each other. Each year they serve between 300 to 350 people.

While the organization and presentation of Oakhurst Outpouring is a tremendous amount of work, Rebecca says it’s all worth it. “I’m usually so busy that I don’t get time to visit with many of the guests, but I have had volunteers come and tell me how blessed a family was to be there and feel so special. Some have said they came because they had no family around and they loved being there with everyone. Some come and bring out-of-town family because they just love the atmosphere of ‘family’ and of Christmas. And that is our heart, that each person would come and truly feel special, that they would know they are prayed for and to just truly feel Gods love for them.”
