LSSN looking for Christmas gift sponsors
Christmas is one of our favorite times of the year at LSSN!
Each Christmas we collect wish lists from the children of LSSN clients and seniors in our Senior Supportive Services program and match them with "Santas" (sponsors) from our community. Santas are given information about their family, such as the number of members and the children's favorite colors, ages, clothing sizes, favorite toys, and dream gifts. Then, the Santas are able to purchase whatever gift they think fits their family best. Once the gifts are purchased, the Santa drops off the gifts at LSSN and we distribute them to the families. The joy and gratitude felt by families when they see their presents is its own gift every Christmas.
If you would like to volunteer to help organize Santa's gifts this year in the week leading up to Christmas, contact Tristan Hightower at tristan@lssnv.org. He will work with you to schedule your volunteer time when we get closer to the holiday.
Interested in Becoming Someone's Santa this Christmas?
Santas may choose to support a family of any size, from two to even ten or more! LSSN places no minimums on what can be spent on each family, but from past experience, adopting groups, families, and individuals have spent approximately $50 to $100 per household and/or $20 to $50 per individual child.
Sponsor information must be collected no later than December 2nd, and all gifts must be at LSSN by December 16th. More information will be published on our website, on our Facebook page, and through local congregations as the Christmas season approaches.
