Winter Wonderland 2016!

Help us bring holiday spirt to The Children’s Shelter campus! Holidays are a special season, and we want to ensure that our children residing at our emergency shelter experience the true holiday spirit.  Please join us on #GivingTuesday, November 29 from 1-5 p.m. for the first ever Winter Wonderland! 

In lieu of purchasing individual toys for our children, we ask you to consider joining our “Twelve-Days of Christmas” event to provide a lasting holiday experience that will be enjoyed throughout the season.  We would like to include companies that have supported our children for many years to join the festivities.  This is the first of what we hope will be a long tradition. 

Please participate!  We are asking our Winter Wonderland group participants to choose one of the twelve days of Christmas as a theme for their tree.  Please let us know what day you have selected so we can ensure all twelve days are represented on the campus.  Then, simply purchase a live Christmas tree, stand, and outdoor decorations to represent your day.  All trees will be placed in the children’s courtyard where they will be seen and enjoyed throughout the holidays.  Trees can be decorated between 1-4 p.m.  Prizes will be awarded in several categories while you enjoy cookies and hot chocolate with our children from 4-5 p.m. 

Help us bring holiday spirit to our Glenda Woods campus.  Thank you for believing in our mission.  Most importantly, thank you for believing in our children and families.  Together with you we are restoring innocence and strengthening families.
