Holiday lights and decorations are featured at a home on Boxwood Road in Wilmington, Tuesday, Nov. 28, 2023.

We called for Delaware Clark Griswolds and Delaware Online/The News Journal received several locations of homes decorated with holiday lights for inclusion on our new map.

This is the first year the news organization partnered with the Food Bank of Delaware to create a map and support the organization.
