 Dear Santa,
Are you and the elves getting ready for Christmas? My family sure is!
We are in a different place this year. I hope you will be able to find us. We are in a shelter called Newhouse. Mom says that I have been good this year...well, mostly.
I've even eaten some of my vegetables! This year, I'd really like it if you could bring some of these things for mom and me!
- Play sets and Legos
- Action figures (non violent)
- Trucks, trains and cars
- Sporting goods
- Baby dolls (all ethnicities)
- Travel & Board games
- Books:Ages 3-10 years
- Radios, Ear Buds, Headphones, Tablets
- Jewelry/Accessories

To make Christmas happen, we need many "volunteer" elves! Elves will decorate, set up the Holiday Stores, assist shoppers, and help women and children wrap their gifts.
- Women's Holiday Store: Monday, December 19, 10am-6pm.
- Children's Holiday Store: Tuesday, December 20, 10am-6pm.
Finally...HOST A HOLIDAY ACTIVITY WITH THE KIDS!
While moms shop (Tuesday), volunteers will be needed to have some extra fun with the kids! Holiday activities could include: watching a movie, making inspired crafts, cookie snacks and playing seasonal games are just a few ideas.
