Our beloved annual Santa Shoppe event provides hundreds of children with the opportunity to select gifts for their family members, do crafts, and enjoy lunch in a festive holiday wonderland. All children will also receive a photo opp and wrapped gift from their wishlist from the big man himself. You can support this event by purchasing items from children’s wish lists or by volunteering your time at the event to set up, wrap gifts, serve food, or be a shopping buddy for a child.
Santa Shoppe brings the magic of the holidays to life for the families we serve. The children get their picture taken with Santa and Mrs. Claus and are presented with a gift from their wishlist (generously purchased by our community of supporters). The fun doesn’t stop there – children also “shop” for gifts for their loved ones with the help of caring volunteers and have the presents wrapped by a team of volunteer elves in the wrapping room. The festive atmosphere is enhanced with holiday music, twinkling decor, arts and crafts, and tasty treats for all family members. This year, Santa Shoppe welcomed over 200 children from 109 local families, creating countless moments of joy and laughter. We are deeply grateful to the donors and volunteers whose generosity and kindness made this day possible.
