On Saturday, December 12th from 12 pm to 5 pm, the Elves need your assistance at the North Pole! We need help sorting and wrapping the presents for each individual child that needs an early delivery, Christmas Eve delivery or Christmas Day delivery from Santa and his Elves. If you'd like to bring tape or wrapping supplies, that'd be helpful, but not necessary to volunteer.
Every night, over 1,000 children in the greater Madison, WI area go to sleep without permanent shelter. As the days shorten...

Every night, over 1,000 children in the greater Madison, WI area go to sleep without permanent shelter. As the days shorten, these children often worry that Santa might not visit because he has no chimney to slide down. Santas Without Chimneys is an annual event designed to raise awareness of poverty in our communities and deliver personalized gifts DIRECTLY to those children in need. It's also a ton of fun or everyone involved.
Santas Without Chimneys is a 501c3 nonprofit coalition effort to provide holiday gifts of new and like-new toys, books, blankets, food cards and (as neeeded) winter clothing to the homeless and highly mobile children of Madison, WI. We work with The Madison School District's Transition Education Progam (TEP). The Social Workers at TEP work hard all November and December contacting homeless and highly mobile families with babies, children and teens asking for wishlists for Santa from each child. Then, we carefully select donations that best fit each child's wishes, so that everyone can receive a sack of gifts
that is truly their own!
