The 2017 Secret Santa program is looking to be like is has the chance of being a great success for all of our listed children. It has turned out to be a Christmas so many children will enjoy, remember, be excited about and talk about. We were able to go out and add items to children's Secret Santa's items, purchase two complete Christmas Dinners with our $100 donation to two families. The single moms, who's children were chosen by a 2017 Secret Santa, will be very happy. Jessica Badowski has been very supportive and has been able to help me with the Big Hearts with Helping Hands organization's Secret Santa program this holiday season.

Our Children Secret Santa's for needy children program was included this year. These young children, ages 1 year old on up, went shopping with their parents, chose a gift(s) for a needy child and some of the children personally delivered their gifts directly to the needy child(ren). The Children Secret Santa's for needy children program will be available to children of all ages next year too. This program helps children feel and see the joy of giving to a needy child. I expect this to really go well this Christmas Season.

We would like to thank all of our 2017 Secret Santa's for making this December holiday a wonderful one for all of the children chosen. It really means a great deal to us and their mothers. Seeing these children smile, after not seeing it for awhile, really says more than words could ever say. ALL OF YOU 2017 SECRET SANTA ADULTS AND 2017 SECRET SANTA CHILDREN are making a big impact and a big difference in these children's lives, this holiday season. You have no idea how much this means to me, our board members, our single moms and everyone who took part in this years 2017 Secret Santa's programs. I just can not say THANK YOU enough to all of you. Your support is so greatly appreciated!!!

Volunteers are needed, crocheters, knitters, plastic canvas, sewers, beaders and loom knitters to help us make the holiday gifts. We make handcrafted toys, baby items, afghans and much more.

We handcraft items all year long for various holidays. For Easter we make baskets and Bunnies and put Easter Baskets together. WIn the past, we had provided 150 colored eggs for the Easter Egg Hunt. We also have public picnics to feed the hungry. We do this several times a year. Our last occassions were on Memorial Weekend and Independance Day. We had supplied all of the food and fed who ever showed up to eat, at no charge. We like to promote and provide the benefits of handcrafted gifts, new and used donated items, public BBQ events to benefit the community, disaster relief, older RV's to provide shelter and running vehicles for people to get the children to the doctors appointments. The vehicle is also used to transport chidlren to special, privte and out of district schools. Our "City of Challenges" goal needs a lot of support, including vendors to rent space at our year round crafting fair events.
