FW Cares for Kids Christmas Party

December 15

Lakota’s gym will be transformed into a festive environment where parents will be invited to come shop, at no cost, for gifts for their children, ages 1 to 18, which they will then wrap, with the help of volunteers. As the parents are shopping, students will be provided with an opportunity to create gifts for someone important to them (parent, grandparent, guardian). We are planning on serving 270 families and estimate 1,200 children will be present at this event.

Volunteers needed for set-up (on December 14), clean-up, greeting, children’s activities, personal shopping for parents & gift wrapping.
