Secret Santa Fund

The holiday season is not only a time of giving, but an opportunity to share our happiness with those in need. However, the holiday season can be difficult for some.

At Woods, there are many people who don't have family or friends to remember them with a gift. Others may not know the joy of receiving a holiday gift because their families have limited financial resources.

To ensure no one is forgotten during the holidays, we established the Secret Santa program. Last year, thanks to the generosity of many volunteers and other community members who shopped for gifts on our clients' wish lists, we provided in excess of 1,000 Secret Santa gifts for more than 400 people in our care.

Additionally, financial contributions enable our clients to enjoy parties, entertainment and other activities during the holiday season. Last year's contributions funded the entertainment and party favors for a holiday dinner, as well as a performance by the Universal African Dance and Drum Ensemble for Kwaanza.

You can brighten the lives of those in need by making a donation to supplement the Secret Santa fund. If you would like to help, you may make your gift online. Go to the Donation Form and enter Secret Santa into the “Special Projects” field.

if you would like to purchase items from one of our client's wish list, contact our Coordinator of Volunteers.

The more gifts we receive, the more joy we can bring our clients this season. Thank you for your generosity.
