Hey, folks! It’s time to gear up for Santa’s Shop once again. Each year, Santa’s elves gather donations from the community of great items for our children to purchase for those they love. Then, more elves busily wrap the gifts for the kids to give at Christmastime.

This year’s Shop will be on Friday, December 14th. If you have any items you would like to donate, please call Laurel Hilts at 435-3252 or send an email to her at lhilts@svt.org.
