"A VISIT FROM ST. NICHOLAS"

join us in creating

a magical day for local children

WHAT:    “A Visit From Saint Nicholas” is a charitable project that provides a gift of a backpack filled with toys and books to disadvantaged children and allows supporting companies to volunteer their time and treasure to help create a magical and emotionally uplifting experience for local underprivileged children.

WHO:         Over 9,000 children attending pre-kindergarten through 2^nd grade at 30 elementary schools in Houston and the Bay Area.  Recipient schools are selected where a majority of children qualify for the free/reduced lunch program, and are typically located in economically disadvantaged areas.

WHEN:      “A Visit From Saint Nicholas” takes place on Friday, December 5

Where:    St. Nick will visit 23 elementary schools in Houston and 7 elementary schools in the Bay Area.

HOW:        Corporate and communityvolunteers fill backpacks in late November.  Volunteers then deliver backpacks and decorate area schools on the day before the event.  On Saint Nicholas Day, children arrive at school to discover that St. Nick has visited and left them a special gift!
