ELF UPDATE!! Yesterday we had 373 children left to match, TODAY we are down to 119!!! We have 6 families of 4, 54 families of 3, 50 families of 2 and 9 families of 1. Some of these have teens and older teens ( a few Seniors in High School ). SANTAS who signed up last night or today, you ARE matched, but we only had 1 typer today, so while many matches got out, I have a large stack that need typed. We will be at Pantry Thurs. 11 til probably 7 or later. If you can type, please come! If you have a laptop, please bring it, as I only have 2 that work well and 1 that decides when it wants to work.
Santas Please check your email , spam, archives! Remember to CONFIRM!!! I hate pestering you!
If you can be a Santa to a family of 2-4, especially if you are good with older teens, Please consider being a Santa! pantry279.org/elf-dispatch/elf-dispatch-santa-signup

373 children is what we have left needing Santas!!
This sounds like a lot, but remember that we started at 1597. when we started this morning we were down to a little over 500 children, but thanks to a generous donor who came in to donate funds to shop with, we are down to 373!
BUT again, we are out of Santas! ALL Santas have been matched, although we are still working on emailing, that should be done by this evening. If you, your family, friends, work place, group, church, club, whatever would like to adopt some children and make sure they have gifts under the tree, please sign up here: pantry279.org/elf-dispatch/elf-dispatch-santa-signup
Here is what we have left:
13 families of 4 children
55 families of 3 children
59 families of 2 children
38 families of 1 child
You DO NOT have to be here to be a SANTA! Last year we had Santas from 17 states and 3 different countries. Shipping direct to the parent is super easy!! Gifts for turn in need to be turned in Dec 15-18 at Fairgrounds 4H building 12-6ish. OR you can porch drop or ship direct!
Money can also be donated to get children's gifts, food, or toys for extra toy day. Monetary donations made via:
Paypal pantry279@yahoo.com
VENMO ( yes we got it back!) @pantry279
Cash App $pantry 279
Website donate button www.pantry279.org
Mailed to P.O. Box 312, Ellettsville, IN 47429 or just brought in to pantry!
