Get ready to spread some holiday cheer! We are excited to kick off our second annual Northeast Elves (Noel) Christmas Shopping Event. It’s a fun and festive celebration led by brave first responders in Northeast Johnson County. Merriam police and local heroes will help children and their families check off their Christmas wish lists.
But that’s not all! These special kids will get to meet Santa himself, enjoy tasty pizza and cookies, and even get their presents wrapped just in time for the holidays. It’s a magical day full of joy, kindness, and holiday spirit!
You can help make this event even more amazing with a donation. Every dollar goes toward toys, wrapping supplies, and all the little touches that make this day unforgettable for children in our community.
The Merriam police officers and first responders will be spreading Christmas cheer on December 19. Your support can bring smiles, warmth, and happiness to children who need it most. Let’s make this Christmas truly magical!
