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.

Thank you for your support of Project Wee Care, without it we could not impact the families that benefit from Project Wee Care. Your support included:

Adopt to Shop for our kids
Provide financial support for gifts and food
Conduct a drive for wrapping supplies
Donate gift cards or vouchers
Provide services
Volunteering at one of the events leading up to and including the North Pole Family Day Event.
