Once a child or senior adult has been registered and accepted as an Angel, their gift list is shared with donors in our community who fulfill that wish. Shoppers are invited to pick an Angel off our tree and return the unwrapped gift with the Angel to the red bin.

Unboxed: Adventures in Cardboard (Sun., Nov. 28, 11am - 2pm): Inspired by adventure playgrounds, this hands-on event presented by the Museum of Imagination and Innovation at Community Hub invites children and their families to test imaginations as they invent and build forts using everyday materials such as cardboard, tape and string. As fort-building ignites imaginative play leading to a lifetime of innovation and creativity, this workshop encourages participants to work collaboratively and create together! RSVPs are required.
