About
Santa’s Workshop is held each year at the YWCA to help families living in area homeless shelters, transitional housing programs or receiving YW services, to have a happy holiday season. This year's event will be "festival style" with children making crafts, taking pictures with Santa and parents selecting an educational book and receiving a gift card for each child.
This year's event will be held on Saturday, December 10th from 9 am - 1 pm, with opportunities for individuals and groups/organizations to decorate the facility, organize crafts/books as well as assist on day of event. We hope you find the perfect fit for you and/or your organization! All Volunteer shifts on event day will be 4 hours with and actual service time may be less. Be prepared to assist with breakdown post event as well, as the more hands we have the quicker it will be!
Sign up is first come, first serve - so don't delay!
