Project Wee Care North Pole Family Day A Success!
More than 150 volunteers braved the icy weather Saturday, December 14, to provide some Holiday Hope to our Project Wee Care families.
280 of the 330 nominated families showed up Saturday to experience family activities, visit Santa and Mrs Santa, take photos, make crafts, pick out gifts for mom and dad, connect with important non profit services, and pickup food, food vouchers, gifts and Hope. Arrangements were made for the other 50 families to receive their gifts and food by Tuesday.
