Holiday Hugs
Secret Santa’s fulfilling a Child’s Santa Wishlists
Holiday Hugs matches a child or family in need with a Secret Santa to make a child’s wishes come true. A Secret Santa may be an individual, family, group of co-workers, or an entire business, that is willing to sponsor a family or families, by purchasing items from their wish list. You can ensure a very special holiday for our families in need.
This year, All our families have been matched! Over 160 kids and a caregiver have been matched with over 67 Secret Santas.
If you wish to help this year, please consider making a donation of gift cards, or a cash donation HERE.
Thank you to our corporate sponsors, Books a Million, and American Legion Post 10.
