Santa’s elves are hard at work making sure families experience the joy of the holidays! Kentucky Tiffany Circle Chair, Luly (right), delivered 12 baskets to Fort Knox for their Santa’s Workshop. The mission of Santa’s Workshop is to provide toys to military families who are financially challenged during the holiday season. With a little assistance from workshop elves, soldiers and spouses shop for the best toys for their children.
Parents begin shopping at Santa’s Workshop around the first two weeks of December. Volunteers like Amy and Ali (left and center) assist parents with selecting toys for their children. We are thankful for the Tiffany Circle members who donated and assembled these baskets. Tiffany Circle is a community of women leaders who advance the Red Cross mission by engaging and embracing women locally, nationally and internationally.
Candy Cane Lane is also offered on base for children of military families assisted through Santa’s Workshop. This gives the children the opportunity to shop for gifts for their parents and siblings. Elves assist them with selecting and wrapping gift items. Volunteers are needed year-round to help shop for toys, restock and organize the workshop.
We are thankful for the many helping hands on base at Fort Knox and around the community. These programs give families a sense of comfort and ease. We know the memories made through the Santa’s Workshop and Candy Cane Lane programs will be cherished for a lifetime!
