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 ... See MoreSee Less

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!! ... See MoreSee Less
