CHRISTMAS KIDS SHOPPING SPREE

Please join us for our annual Christmas Kids Shopping spree providing gifts for children who may not have a home for Santa to visit. This great event is one of our most heartwarming all year where we take approximately 30 kids Christmas Shopping with $150 to spend on each. Target brings us in prior to opening to secure the building and present a safe environment where SBMC Members help brighten their holiday.

Please help us make this holiday special and sponsor a child or two for $150 each.

We will meet on December 3 at 6am at the Target on San Jose and will need volunteers to help the kids with their shopping!
