Nonprofit Spotlight: A Doorway to Hope
Our Santa and Mrs. Claus will be sharing all donations from our Santa Station with A Doorway to Hope, a local Cary charity that provides one-time emergency assistance to low-income families whose world has been shaken by job loss, a death in the family, an illness, or other circumstances. They also create programming that provides household essential baskets, summer food assistance, and at Christmas, gifts for low-income families via their Angel Tree project.
We’re proud to help Santa and Mrs. Claus support A Doorway to Hope this Christmas season!
