The Ward family has always held a strong belief in giving back to their community. Their love of children and Christmastime lead to the creation of the North Pole Project of St. Though we originally had no intention of growing past that, it was clear a greater need existed. The Ward & Lazerware families and all their friends joyfully provided the help we needed to serve more families. We have grow
n, but we keep it small, yet mighty; helping about 15 families and 40 children each year. By staying small, we can provide a truly unique experience that inspires the entire family. We take the time to learn about the family and children. We know their names, interests, favorite school subject and teacher. It’s not just what the children want, but what the family so desperately needs. Its everything from Christmas wishes to day to day necessities. Every in-home visit is personalized and a life-changing moment for everyone. We personally deliver each family what can only be described as a combination of a Broadway production and magic show. The orchestrated visit by Santa, Mrs. Claus and the Elves is one filled with compassion, magic and love. Santa knows things about the children only parents would know. Reindeer food magically appears. Children are left with a sense of amazement and excitement. For the first time in their lives, Christmas wishes are granted. The parents can finally relax, knowing Christmas this year will be a delight, full of joy, laughter and hope. This year, the children will have personalized presents, plus a new coat and shoes. The house will have a decorated tree and Christmas Day will be celebrated with a full traditional dinner. It may not seem like much to those more fortunate, but Santa, Mrs. Claus and the Elves can attest to the power of giving. They know something so simple can change a child’s life. Caring makes a difference and you can help. North Pole Project is a 100% volunteer workforce. Every item and dollar donated go towards helping the children and families.
