Thank you to Santa and Mrs Claus from The Santa Mission for taking the time to help all day with Christmas Hampers at the food bank last week. They were spreading joy to volunteers and families, and handing out turkeys, hams, and candy canes! Santa also shared some great stories! What a beautiful gift to have them share the spirit of the season.
