We can use volunteers at pantry today from 11-6. Roads are not that bad, main ones are fine.

🎄 Elf Dispatch Update 🎄
We are officially closed for child sign-ups — we’ve reached our max capacity for our Christmas list. ❤️
Now it’s up to our amazing Santas to step in and make the magic happen! If you’d like to help give a child a special Christmas this year, please sign up to be a Santa. 🎅✨

I know today has been very overwhelming, it is more overwhelming for us! We had put up a post holding things until tomorrow, but then we got the site working. Thus took that post down. However, right this very second we have almost 1000 people trying to log on. They site can't handle that kind of traffic. So, it is down again, until things calm down. It will come back up, and we will get people signed up. I understand we are the only ones that take teens, and I understand we are the last program to open when all of the other are full. We've got you, but you must calm down. Even if you do not get signed up, we have extra toy day for those who don't make the list. Breathe....

ELF Dispatch is LIVE! but running slowly, please be very patient.
Parents may sign up children ages 0-18 as long as they are still in High School and NOT signed up with any other gifting program. This year you will need to upload proof of child, like a birth certificate, ID, etc has to have child's name AND Birthdate. Please make sure you are on the correct form!!! Read all rules!!
The link to sign up children to have the chance to receive gifts is

SANTAS!! We can't do this without you! Adopt 1 or as many children as you like! Our Head ELF will hand match you with your children and send you all the details and what they have asked for.

ELF Dispatch is NOT live yet. We are trying to get it up, but so many people are attempting to access it and we can't upload the program. At this time it will probably not be live until after 4pm. Please WATCH for us to POST that it is live. Thank you!
