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 is a cherished tradition that is made possible by hundreds of donors and volunteers who ensure the families we serve experience the joy of the holiday season. This year, a total of 265 children received gifts directly from their wishlist.
On Saturday, December 7, children received their gift and took a picture with Santa and Mrs. Claus. Each child was also paired with a volunteer who brought them into the “shopping room” to help them select gifts for their family members. Next,the kids visited the “wrapping room” where volunteers helped them to wrap the gifts to keep the surprise until the time comes to open them. Throughout the event, families enjoyed crafts, face painting, and breakfast or lunch.
We could not pull off this event without the generosity, kindness, and enthusiasm of our community of supporters. Thank you for everything!
