Christmas in July
When: July 1-31, 2024
Where: Virtual
This summer, get in the holiday spirit as we kick off the Christmas in July Toy Drive to benefit the McNabb Center’s Dear Santa program. Help us stock up for children and families in need this holiday season.
For more than 20 years, the Center has provided holiday gifts for kids of all ages through the Dear Santa program. Community sponsors donate gifts for child clients in need and their siblings. Because many of the children have limited resources, many wish lists consist of basic items like clothing, a winter coat, new shoes, and, of course, their Christmas wish for Santa.
For questions about Christmas in July or the Dear Santa program, please contact Amy Cattran at amy.cattran@mcnabb.org or (865) 637-9711 ext. 1155.
