47th Annual Santa Claus Shop a Success

The shopping is done and all the presents have been wrapped.  Thanks to all our volunteers and generous donors, many grateful families in our community are now ready for the holidays.

This year, the 47th annual Santa Claus Shop was able to serve over 1,000 struggling family members and seniors.  Due to increased need in our community, the number of families invited to participate increased by 25% this year.

The Chairwomen of the Santa Claus are grateful to have such an enthusiastic and generous group of volunteers.  Thank you for shopping with the customers, wrapping thousands of presents and spreading holiday spirit to all.

Also, thank you to our many donors.  The Santa Claus Shop wouldn't run without your financial support.  You helped make the holidays a special time for many people.
