Start Point

Toy Drop

Of course there is a Santa Claus. It’s just that no single somebody could do all he has to do. So the Lord has spread the task among us all. That’s why everybody is Santa Claus. I am. You are.
― Truman Capote

Join the merry band of Santa's Helpers and solidify the term "It's not about you." This event will provide you and your team the opportunity to turn frowns upside down while giving back to those less fortunate. Bring some holiday cheer and an unwrapped gift (toys) to donate to kiddos who could really use a healthy dose of joy!
