Santa's Village

Mission:  Create a shopping venue for parents with a child being treated at Le Bonheur Children’s and staying at FedExFamilyHouse leading up to Christmas Day.

How it works:

Toys and gifts  are provided for the entire family. Several generous groups and individuals provide new toys and gifts for all ages. Then we transform the FedExFamilyHouse conference room into a boutique for shopping, including holiday music and snacks.

The family schedules time to shop accompanied by a volunteer or staff member who helps the family make selections.  We expect to serve more than 100 families over nine days.
