What we really, really need are teams of volunteers to deliver toys. Takes a bit more commitment (and a vehicle), but it is a whole lot more fun! Each Santa team consists of 3 people: 1 person to be Santa Claus (we have a complete costume for him or her), 1 person to drive, and 1 person to help Santa (since he can't see real well wearing a wig and beard). We only dress up Santa, everyone else is on their own costume-wise. There are annual Elf Louise t-shirts for sale for $10 each. If you have a large group, you can have two or three Santa teams, and we'll put you in the same geographical area or give you an apartment complex.

Santa Teams deliver beginning December 16 through December 23. Weekdays, Santa's are scheduled to depart from 4:30 pm until 6 pm; Saturdays Santa's leave from 11 am until 2 pm; Sundays Santa's depart from 12:30 until 3 pm.

Delivering toys takes about 2-3 hours, depending on the side of town you're delivering to. Playing "Santa" makes for a whole lot of fun with family and friends and as an added bonus, you bring the joy and spirit of Christmas to many less fortunate children.

If you haven’t delivered toys before, you are encouraged to come to one of our “new Santa” orientations, which will give you all kinds of helpful hints on making your deliveries successful. Come talk to our Santa experts beginning December 6 through December 11 at 7 pm each weekday evening, or at 2 pm on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Briefings last about an hour.

Our 2008 Project location is pending. If you have a place you would like to donate for our use, please contact Elf Louise.
