Evan's Elves is a non-profit organization that helps less fortunate children, families, and veterans during the Christmas time.
We shop for an estimated 40 families and veterans and ensure getting their needs and wants covered for this special time of the year.
With so many gifts to purchase we fundraise throughout the year and than the Wednesday before Christmas we invite all of our children, families, and veterans to a special celebration.
We have our very own Santa and professional photographer for the children to sit on Santa's lap and let them know what they want for Christmas. We than take a beautiful picture and have it framed right than and there.
The children can decorate sugar cookies, decorate ginger bread houses, make a card for mom and dad, complete arts and crafts, get their face painted, be amused by the magicians, enjoy the candy table...and than the night ends with the families getting their cars loaded up with all the gifts we have for them to take back home to ensure they have a very special Christmas.
Our passion is ensuring that children do not feel their families hardships, childhood is a time for kids to be kids. For our veterans we want to make them feel like family is all around them. So many do not have families or have families any more and the celebration with us makes them feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside ... just what Christmas is all about!
To Make our Christmas Celebration special we look for assistance from those with special trades ... face painters, magicians, balloonists, etc. to donate their time to the event and add to the fun.
We understand some trades require products - such as paint for a face painter or balloons for a balloonist and we are happy to cover your costs - if you can donate your time.
Please reach out to me, Evan, founder of Evan's Elves if you would be interested in donating your time on Wednesday December 21, 2016 from 5p - 9p.
Thank you & Merry Christmas and Wishing you a Healthy - Happy New Year!
