Breakfast with Santa Keeps on Giving
To quote one of the Breakfast with Santa volunteers, "we get a fishes and loaves miracle every year." This past year was no different. We served more single mothers than ever before and still had plenty of toys and other gifts left over.
Soroptimist of Salt Lake donated dozens of left-over games and toys
from our Breakfast with Santa event to the Sunnyvale Neighborhood Center. This new community center runs two
after school programs in the West Millcreek neighborhood, serving over 40
children and their families.
Our donation couldn't have came in a more appropriate
time. Just the week before, all of their supplies, games and toys were destroyed
in a water leak. Most of these children are from low-income, immigrant/ refugee/
single mom families. This center provides programming and food for the children
after school, many stay there till late at night because their parents are at
work.
We received this delightful thank you card just today. It is truly heartwarming to know that the donations we received for Breakfast with Santa were welcomed by this wonderful community program.
