Who we are:
Allyson & Jackson Senter & Family
Sally Mitchell (Nana)
Why we do what we do:
In 2015 my granddaughter passed from SIDS at 11 weeks old & my daughter's family was not in any mood to celebrate Christmas. However, they were blessed by many friends/family and received help that year when it just was too hard to bring themselves to shop for gifts.
Since then they have bought gifts for families every year to teach my living granddaughters the value of giving to others in need when things are hard.
In December we will have a Christmas get together for the kids, complete with Santa, Lunch/Dinner, Games, and of course the gifts pick up.
This year, the event will be held from 11a-5p on Saturday, December 20, 2025 @ Risen Nation Church in Pasadena,TX!
We are very excited to be able to bless 100 children this year!
But, of course, an even of this magnitude takes help....
π WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!π
This years goal is to have a more organized event (its usually pretty organized already, but as it has grown we have learned a few things)
If you would like to be involved please let us know!
Where we need volunteers this year:
β€οΈ Buying gifts for kids in need (we need ALL the help we can get with this, this year we are separating by family instead of individual kids so all kids in one family will be bought for together)
πBuying gifts for the parents table (we did this last year and it is nice to have a little something for the parents, one year my amazing grandfather bought all the parents fast food gift cards, we would love to bring that back this year!)
β€οΈ Donating supplies/food for the event
π Greeters the day of the event
β€οΈ Photographer (we need 2)
π
Santa (and Mrs. Claus/Elf?)
π Serving food
β€οΈ general help in each of the "stations" at the event
π set up/break down/cleanup crew
β€οΈ our gift ninjas: helping get gifts to the cars discreetly for the parents
πβ€οΈIf any of these areas are somewhere you wish to help this year, please let me know!β€οΈπ
