Discover Greensboro Fall 2022

FEATURE STORY Give Back

Get ready to give! Santa’s Workshop needs your help! The holidays might be months away, but it is never too soon to start giving gifts! This year, Santa needs you to be the elf and go shopping for 200+ families served by the Greensboro Youth Council’s annual Santa’s Workshop program. Each December, local families are referred to the program by local agency partners. The GYC teen volunteers collect new and used toys, and provide each family with a special holiday “shopping” experience. Each your, between 500-600 children get free toys, games, and more. Want to spread some of that good cheer? It is as easy as opening Amazon.com and checking out the GYC Santa’s Workshop Wish List. Pick and purchase a Leopard Rainbow Hair Barbie, a Marvel Spidey and His Amazing Friends Figure Pack, or a First Act Musical Keyboard from the long list of awesome

toys. Amazon will ship it directly to GYC in time for the giveaway! Rather donate some gently used items instead? GYC will start collecting in November. Visit www.greensboro-nc.gov/Santasworkshop to link directly to the Amazon Wish List, for a list of used toy donation locations, or to donate cash to this worthy project.
