Santa!

Santa Claus is coming to town early this year for the boys and girls living in Sea Island Habitat for Humanity homes. On December 16, 2010, SIHH staff and volunteers will welcome Santa and Habitat children to the SIHH office as part of their 2nd annual Christmas party.

“We are so excited to spread the Christmas spirit to our partner families again this year,” said Molly Coffey, Advancement and Communications Manager for SIHH. “We want to make this holiday season a joyful time for our families and are so thankful for the generous community support in helping us put on this event.”

One of the groups helping with the party is the students of the Porter-Gaud School, who will once again be helping Santa by providing Christmas gifts for the Habitat children. Last year the students of Porter-Gaud made sure every child received a gift by conducting a toy drive at the school and plans for the same toy-drive are underway this year.

“The children were so grateful and excited to receive their gifts last year,” said Anne Randall, Volunteer Coordinator for Sea Island Habitat. “I am thankful to have been able to experience the true spirit of the holidays with our Habitat families and look forward to celebrating with them again this year.”

The Johns Island Library and a few extraordinary volunteers also have something special up their sleeves and will help spread the Christmas cheer at the party on the 16th.
