Do you think you would make a great Santa?
If YES... then we want to talk with you! For one special night, Emmaus is looking for someone who loves Christmas and wants to create a magical memory for our families living in shelter. Many children will be depending on you. You must be very jolly and passionate about playing Santa Claus.

Santa will be expected to greet all children and smile for a few pictures. We anticipate anywhere from 30-40 families to meet with you the evening of the event.

Event Date & Time:

Wednesday, December 4, 2024 from 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM

  • Must pass a CORI check and complete our Volunteer Waiver prior to the event.
  • Basic knowledge of the background and history of Santa and Christmas.
  • Communicate well with children of ALL AGES.
  • Feel comfortable with families who may not speak English.
  • Remain IN CHARACTER throughout all interactions during the event.
