These pictures show exactly what happens with the monetary donations we receive. Shopping and preparations are done all year in order for our big distribution in December. Clearance sales make our budget go farther - and Jen does a fantastic job of seeking them out! 100% of our private donations received go DIRECTLY to items such as these, and we do welcome donations all year in order to get in on all the deals! Thank you for your support of our program!

Happy New Year, everyone!

The B.j. Armani Cabaret has supported the Santa Claus Girls for several years, providing cash donations and gift bag supply donations. We sincerely appreciate the support of children in our community!

Our donors and grantors are the primary reason that this program is able to function. Without community support, we simply would not be able to provide these gift bags for children.

Each gift bag cost approximately $41 to create. Not too long ago it was half that amount. Every donation we receive helps in a tremendous way we are very grateful to those that are able to support our program. We understand that there are many organizations that request help in our community, and we are grateful that you have chosen to help support ours.

We are grateful for the support we have received from the Myra Foundation through the years, including this year! They have been a fundamental grantor to our program, and their funding has allowed us to purchase much needed gift bag items.
