Santa's Workshop Recap!

After a challenging year of cancelled events, we weren’t sure what our Santa’s Workshop would look like. Thankfully, the Lord provided and we were able to host our annual FREE Christmas Shopping event for our families.

Thanks to the partnership with Auburn Church of Christ, we were able to host this huge event over the course of a week, allowing families to stagger their shopping and limiting the amount of people in the building at one time. We had families shop for the children in their homes over the course of a whole week. This year we served 138 families and 450 children! Each child received a big item or gift card, 3-4 additional toys or gifts, a puzzle or game, stuffed animal and stocking stuffers. Thanks to the generosity of a local family, we also gave away over 300 bibles!

This event serves children in foster care, children adopted out of foster care, and the biological children in those foster and adoptive families. It allows us to support the whole family and relieve the financial burden that Christmas can be on families, especially large families! We love serving our families through this event every year and we are so grateful for the support of so many community partners that makes it possible!
