Santa’s Shoppe is coming back to Sierra Presbyterian on Saturday, December 2, 2023, and we need your help!
This is a wonderful community event, where kids (ages 3-10) can buy gifts for family, friends, and even their pets. The items are new or nearly new and priced at just 25 cents.

• Cookies: We need cookies to keep the parents occupied while the children are in Santa’s Shoppe (2-3 dozen per baker). You can drop off cookies at the Church Friday morning.
• Brown Paper Shopping Bags – (for children to put gifts in while shopping)
SAT, DEC. 2, 9 AM TO 1:30 PM
•Elves: We need at least 20 elves for each shift to guide the children through Santa’s Shoppe as they select their gifts. Must be at least 12 years old.

We are also collecting gifts and wrapping supplies for Santa’s Shoppe, which can be dropped off at the KARE Nursery at 15649 Ridge Estates Road, Nevada City.
KARE can receive donations on Thursday November 9th, and Thursday November 16th.
Gifts must be new or gently used items (no clothing except infant sizes). Gift wrapping supplies, particularly gift bags, tissue paper, bows, gift tags, and bubble wrap would be greatly appreciated. (We already have plenty of wrapping paper and ribbon for this year.)
