Secret Santa Holiday Bazaar 2008

SECRET SANTA PROJECT

The Secret Santa Project, a division of Angel Wings Ministry to children, provides age appropriate toys, games, books, puzzles and in some cases jackets, coats, underclothes, socks, gloves and hats at Christmas time for families who are experiencing economic difficulties.

Individuals or groups select a child from our list of identified children in need. The child does not know the donor and the donor will not know the child. The donor will have the opportunity to purchase and wrap a few items for the child or family they select.

This enables the parents or guardians to concentrate on paying their household bills (especially their rent/mortgage, gas and electric, or other utility bills during the winter months).

WE HELP FAMILIES.....

The Johnson Family

The Lansing Family

Over the years, we have been fortunate enough to be able to pool resources together from various providers both private and corporate, to help economically disadvantaged families enjoy their Christmas holiday. Each year we are met with greater challenges and requests that number in the hundreds. Angel Wings strives to answer when the call goes forth for assistance.

The Secret Santa Project selects children who have been personally recommended to the selection committee. In many situations the person who recommends the child(ren) volunteers to make delivery. There will be a pick up date and location identified before Christmas. In hardship cases, deliveries will be made on a case-by-case basis.
