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!

Shannon is a volunteer who showed up to help around Thanksgiving and stayed. He has been logging in LONG hours on days we can't be there to just be able for people to drop off donations. He is at Pantry today ( Sunday ) now until 5 for anyone wanting to bring donations of food, toys, Checks/cash, blankets, pet food, clothing, bags what ever! While he does have ELF info, he does have a direct line to the head elf for questions. Thank you and please SHARE

It's time again for this message! Our Elves are working full steam ahead from HQ, their homes and even the Hospital trying to get all of the kids matched and the info out to the Santas! We want to get the Santas' their match as fast as possible, so they can get busy with their shopping. Please be patient!!! Calling a couple of times a day to check, will just take away from our matching time. 1 person calling is no big deal, but there are almost 600 of you. On another note, threatening the Head Elf and any of her elves and their families could cause the program to be completely canceled. So Patience please!!
