Santa House Collecting Toys At Arvada's Apex Center

Drop off your unwrapped toys, gloves, hats and socks for Arvada kids ages infant-12 at APEX Center until Dec. 8

ARVADA, CO -- Dec. 8 is the deadline to donate new, unwrapped toys as well as knit gloves, scarves and socks to the 12th Annual Santa House at Arvada's APEX Center.

Parents in need whose children attend Arvada schools and preschools are recommended by the schools. These parents might otherwise be unable to afford gifts, and at the Santa House they can select donated gifts for their elementary and middle school children, and siblings ages infant through 12.

Santa House is organized by the Arvada-Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth (AWRSAY), an affiliation of Arvada and Wheat Ridge service clubs and Red Rocks Community College. This year, the Santa House is in the Friendly Square Shopping Center at 64th and Simms Aves. The shop’s address is 11651 W. 64th Ave., Unit B2 (on the west end of the shopping center, next to Mile High Billiards).
