This event brings the magic of the holidays to homeless
families by offering parents the opportunity to “shop” for free gifts for their
children, while children create festive holiday crafts for their family members.
The children eat and have their picture made with Santa.

Santa’s Workshop is held each year at the YWCA to help families living in area homeless shelters and transitional housing programs to have a happy holiday season. Children have an opportunity to make gifts that they can give to moms, teachers, friends and others in their life circle and can even have their picture taken with Santa.
Moms are able to “shop” (everything is free) for gifts to give their children.
Donate New Items from the Santa’s Workshop Wish List. Children’s ages range from infants to teenagers.
Please, no toy guns, violent toys or used items.
