It’s that time of year again – Kelowna Santas is back, and this time celebrating its 10th year! Kelowna Santas is a volunteer-led initiative that helps give toys and gifts to less fortunate families and children across the Okanagan at Christmas.
A special thank you again to our presenting sponsor for the third-year Kelowna Toyota! We greatly appreciate your help.
The initiative has helped hundreds of children have something to open on Christmas day.
Each year people drop off unwrapped toys and gifts to Kelowna Santas at a range of drop locations, and we are looking for more drop-off locations to collect toys this year.
Last year we had 34 businesses register as drop locations and we are hoping to increase that number this year. You can register to be a drop location here.
With more drop locations available, it means people will have greater access to donate gifts, and if more people are able to donate, inevitably more children can receive a gift.
We strongly encourage everyone to make a donation to Kelowna Santas, and in particular, donate toys suitable for children ages 14-17. Gifts for children in this age range are often the hardest to buy and what Kelowna Santas needs most. See what types of gifts may be suitable here.
We truly appreciate all businesses that participate as drop locations for gifts each year, as these enable Kelowna Santas to help as many families as possible have a better Christmas.
You can help make a difference and help children across the Okanagan enjoy Christmas!
Everyone needs help once in a while, if you are struggling and would like to register as a family in need don’t hesitate and register here today.
